Free 6 months internet with T-mobile pay as you go...

This topic may have been posted earlier by someone else...but I was happy to receive a bonus from T-Mobile when I bought HTC Wildfire in ebay uk, and transferred my pay as you go sim card from my old mobile that I had for a few months into the new phone and almost immediately, I received a message from T-Mobile to text them back if I wanted six months free internet...

Of course, I took that up, I was already planning to shift to Tesco's 2 pounds per week internet deal to go with the pay as to go sim card from them...but now I will stay with T-Mobile...

Anyone ever come across that?

And wow...T-Mobile has just announced that should my phone gets out of their coverage area, I could use O2 area for nothing!

I guess I can use that free internet with O2 as well, eh?

  • I think T Mobile use the Orange network when their own network isn't available. :wink:

    They do, but only for 2g calls, texts etc. Won't be until next summer when 3g coverage will cross over.

    Errr, no. As RS2kJane rightly said, it ORANGE and T-mobile that share call coverage. And your internet isn't part of that anyway.

    But you can use your free allowance from T-Mobile on the Orange network without any further charges...
