    I'm due the renewal now but its the top up on my PAYG which is annoying. I've got £50 on there and i never use it

    I was on the same boat as you and as you can see from my above post get some family member/friend who has O2 contract and give their number to O2. you need to get permission from them first as O2 will verify the number you gave them via text messaging.
    If i had known then what I know now! :)

    Console yourself that while you haven't thought of a way to spend that credit, it was FREE credit as you topped up £10/qtr and because of that were allowed to pay £4.89/m less in cash - ie buying those £50 of credit meant you had to hand over £73+ less for your broadband, so £23 in your pocket to buy a drink and console yourself :beer:

    Ideas: You could use the £50 to enter some of those SMS competitions (at a reputable promoter!) in the hope eg of winning £10,000 worth of Gadgets from the Gadgetshow on 5 or whatever

    Good on you Ringo! I got a friend of mine to be my "Mobile link" to my Broadband contract and all is gone well. Best way to get good deals is to ask for the Retentions department.Don't speak to the Billings.
