I bought a sim card with £30 credit on it. (For the number was matching my home number)

Its on 3 and now I am planning port this number to O2.
I got the PAC code but still got the £22 credit on the phone.

Anybody know where could I spend this credit, like for any vouchers. Online texting services (send text from web). or anything good.

All help appricated.

    If it's with three them you will only be able to spend the money on whatever is provided by 3, though they now do let you have access to a few external websites now. But they do not allow any general browsing at all, so I guess you will have to spend it on their video clips, games etc

    Or phone calls of course!

    Thanks.
    Calling?
    with 3200 + 1500 + 2050 inclusive minutes I rarely find time to come off the phone. :)

    but any premium services or anyother idea would be welcomed.

    Try www.allofmp3.com where you can pay for mp3s by SMS, they are very cheap (Russian based - pretty sure it's legal remember seeing an article about this on the BBC once and it was ruled legal in a UK court) you can get an album for about £2
    2p off is still 2p off!

    you might find 3 don't allow this, in alot of small print for this type of thing you see 3 being excluded

    Cool one. :)

    but I am still short of time for chat with friends & family. I think I will pass this one.
    Also I do believe that it is a rip off while you can chat (+ voice chat) to someone on FREE web sites. :)
