Vodafone are morons

I've just had a text inviting me to text 'REWARD' to a number to get a free £1 credit as a 'loyal customer'. So I waste my time typing it in just to get another text saying 'Sorry you're not eligible for this offer'.

So, if you know I'm not eligible just from my number, why send that number the goddamn offer in the first place!:mad::mad::mad:

  • Par for the course I'm afraid.
    If I ever find myself with enough time on my hands, I'll share with you the story of how they disconnected me twice and have since billed me three times for early termination of contract ...

    Was it really from Vodafone? I get strange texts telling me I have won stuff.

    Thats what I thought. Probably just confirmed themselves for a barrage of junk texts. I ignore all unsolicited texts.

    I'd check that you haven't just signed yourself up to a weekly text service!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
  • Just done a search for the number and it points directly to vodafones eforum, where they say it's a genuine offer, although it's no the number they normally use for their text promotions.

  • Update!
    I've just had another text apologising for the incorrect error message and i'll get the credit after all...

    They will text me on the 2nd of Feb to let me know when...:confused:facepalm.jpg
