    hmm, scratch that... might be wrong, but dont you get free texts to O2 service numbers?... Might be worth a try?

    No you definitely need 10p credit, tried it with a mates phone who had no credit and it wouldnt send the text

    I have an O2 sim that I bought off Ebay with about £50 credit on it.....so I have never officially topped it up - but - using this system I have topped it a few times - the first time it gave me £5, then since then £2.50 each time....you have to wait for the first top up to arrive (think it was 10 or 14 days days), then I repeated it with another brand new sim card phone number...just dumping the new sim card once I had texted/used the number. Great use for the many free ones I had....certainly better than trying to sell them on E bay

    They said they are having problems with this service and i could call 4444 to complete the service. is it worth calling?

    The credit amount is based on your spend for the last 9 months to a year. Their is no point in seeking cs help as your attempting to exploit a loophole.

    Yes it will keep giving you £2.50p for each new sim,but thats only the £2.50p you would get on each new sim anyway.

    Oh well even if you only get £2.50 for each aditional card used, better than nothing. They send them out free, you would be lucky to get a £1 each for them on ebay. So instead of registering them and having to use that sim, why not take the £2.50 to ur sim.

    Because if everybody kept doing that the loophole would be closed. After all who upgrades their phone every 14 days?
  • i done this offer about 13 days ago and it said i would recieve £40 i havent got anything yet.. could it come on the last day or do you think theres a problem?

    i just tried it and just got a message saying that they are having problems with this "shortcode". could they be closing the loophole?
  • They are. No further credits will be applied without you calling o2 customer service so they can confirm you have actually upgraded your handset.
