Hi, I am going to be getting a new fancy phone for my birthday on a monthly contract and as I want to trabnsfer my number over I am going to lose the credit that I currently have with my old network provider- £19. Silly me just topped up recently and I use so litlle on calls etc.
Anyone have any useful ideas on how to use the money up, I could enter lots of competitions or are there any numbers I could donate to charity or get free stuff? I remember ages ago when I had the same situation I managed to text a number and for some of the credit they sent me some lovely smelly candles.
So any ideas anybody??

    Do you use any apps on facebook like My Zoo or Farm Town? They all offer extra benefits and you can pay with phone credit.

    Will the contract be with your payg provider? I had a 02 payg and topped up before i ported into 02 contract and what was left on the payg was transferred to contract so gave me my first month at a reduced cost ;)
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
