I can't remember the number that I need to text which then automatically text me back my balance. What number do I need to text to and what should my text message contain when I send it.



Thanks.
02 helpline is currently closed until tomorrow. I want to send out a large group text but might wait until my new month's allowance is given.

    Assuming you are on pay monthly send a blank text to 21202 or call 2020 from your mobile and choose option 1.

    p.s. There's also an O2 app via iTunes that will give you up to date usage

    As Kenrob says, send a blank text to 21202

    Thanks for this. I now know how much I have left. No texts left until a few days time.
