Top Up Monthly Tricks

When my free web bolt on runs out at Xmas for my iphone I need to start paying for the web.

At the moment I top up £10 per month PAYG with O2. They have a PAYG tariff that is unlimited texts & unlimited web if you top up £15 per month. I have 2 questions about this

1. If I continue with my £10 monthly top up as I do now, but top up one day earlier would that bring it to £20 for that month & so qualify for the texts & web. I would then top up a day earlier each month? It says calculations are based on your previous months top up.

2. Do you still get £10 credit on your phone to use as normal on calls ect PLUS the free texts & web or do you just get the texts & web & have no credit to make calls ect:confused:

Any advice greatly appreciated!
Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

    It would only work for the first month (every 30 months approx). Afterwards you would still be paying in £10 a month. Example: your cut off date is 1st of every month.
    October: 1/10 and 31/10
    November 30/11
    December 29/12
    January 28/1
    February 27/2
    etc etc
