    02 should send you a text message a few days before your bolt on ends to tell you the amount that you will be charged the following month unless you opt out and the text will also tell you how to opt out. If you chose the calls 50 and you want to cancel then you should text 'CALLS50 OFF' to 21300.

    For some reason this didnt work for me, I topped up a brand new sim and activated calls50 as in the first post, and they debited me £7.99 from my payg. Because lifes so busy, I didnt get around to complaining but today to add insult to injury I had a text saying I had to top up my £1.50 credit so they could debit next months calls 50. GRRRRR! So I have texted the number to cancel on the first post and am going to ring them and complain tomorrow. I didnt even use the wretched phone anyway.
    The other problem I have been caught with twice now is the so called freebie ringtone or game that you get - I always get charged. There is no information on how to claim the freebie different from a normal download so I think its their fault. I hate O2 (not keen on Vodaphone either). Rant over.
    Did anyone else get caught like me?
    You should not cancel it.
    call on O2 CS they will put your credit back.(not only £7.99 but £23.97)
    also you can caim for you ring tone charge as well.
    call free on O2 CS

    And it's my advise don't leave o2.there are lots of benefits on it.
    see all the benefits.

    Sorry if this is a bit O/T, but even after extensive searching I can't find the answer anywhere (that probably means it's right under my nose, of course).

    I have a number of O2 SIMS onto which which I can obviously have the free £2.50 registration credit put. I also have a number of old handsets/car chargers, and I have put one in each of my more elderly relatives' cars, with a registered SIM, for emergency purposes (they're always forgetting their own phones). Obviously they won't be much used, and the initial credit should last some time.

    The question I have is, does anyone know if this credit expires over time, so that there's no point in registering the SIMs all at once, or would it be sensible to just register all the SIMs in case the offer itself expires ?

    (Out of interest, I have an old handset which takes full card SIMS, so I can register them, but leave the SIM itself attached to the card, which has all the relevant data on it,so I will know who gets what number when I dish them out over time.)

    Thanks for any enlightenment anyone can provide.
  • If you register a new Sim using 248 to activate does the £2.50 automatically credit to your balance ?
  • Is this still working ?? i mean if i put a new sim in register it get the £2.50 then. i apply for 50x network mins - will i get the bolt on ??? without topping up
