How to use up top-up credit on O2 PAYG?

Hi there,

To get cheaper O2 broadband, I top up my O2 PAYG mobile with £10 every three months. Now I have about £40 worth of credit there.

I already have a T-mobile phone with a contract that includes everything so I'd like to spend my O2 PAYG credit on something.

Is there a way to use it up somehow, or pay for something using the PAYG credit?

I am not really interested in ringtones, games for the phone etc.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

    The best way would be via the National Lottery. It costs 20p to add funds, and the credit just appears on your account. You can then withdraw to your debit card or just buy tickets!

    You need to register your mobile, then text "LOAD 10" to 61111 - change the 10 to what ever you want.

    Saves you going to the the Post Office. And it's just worked for me.

    This doesn't work. It tells National Lottery to take the money from your registered debit card.

    Opps... ignore my previous post.
