  • I've got some too! :) It's funny, I applied on two phones, one I use frequently and one I use less often. I've been awarded the texts on the one I use less often but not on the other phone. Maybe they'll only be awarded to a certain group of sim cards (depending on age of sim card or level of activity etc.).

    Same here - the dodgy phone with the dodgy buttons that I use for comping ended up with the free text - serves me right for being greedy :D
  • just got my free 500 texts too....thanks to OP x :)

    Got my free texts today, thank you OP- the message said "thank you for topping up your mobile with ten pounds in September"....and I usually top up a tenner a month so maybe that's the criteria?
