Tesco PAYG --- more free credit

Here is a tip for anybody who uses tesco PAYG and who perhaps have kids. As you will be aware tesco will give you £30 of free credit (to be used within a 30 day period) if you top-up £15.

Ok, thats the simple bit.
Register another (trusted) persons mobile for the tesco "ping me a pound" service. This is usually aimed at kids so they can get emergency money if they run out. Over the next 10 days, ping £1 per day to the registered phone and this will count as a £10 toptup, thus giving this second phone £10 of free credit to be used.

Ive never actually got round to seeing what would happen if you did the pinging over 15 days yet.
