    you won't find it anywhere

    £10 top up is £10, just go to your newsagent and ask for a £10 o2 top up voucher, you will never find them cheaper part of the reason is that the vouchers expire after 30days of buying them.

    There are completely legal and honest ways of obtaining top-ups for less than face value.
    Occasionally they are offered for sale by people who have bought them with a new handset, been given them or have bought them in error.
    Supermarkets sometimes offer incentives to top-up by giving extra loyalty points which makes the top-up cheaper.
    Top-ups can be given away as promotional items.
    Of course the question is, whether hunting around for a slightly cheaper top-up is worth it?
  • I always buy £10 top ups at Boots and get 40 advantage card points. And, for example, when they were giving out a £5 off No7/Ruby & Millie vouchers WYS £5, I buy 2 x £5 top ups separately. So for a £10 spend I get back the equivalent of £10.40 which I spend on No7.

    Exactly, there are lots of ways of getting cheap airtime credit. A soft drinks firm were recently giving away 50p credit with each can purchased. So 60p bought the drink and 50p credit.
