I saw a link on here about 2 weeks ago, whereby you can text a new sim card number to an O2 number and it makes thinks you have upgraded phones and it then gives you credit within 14 days.

I can't find the link.....where the hell is it!!??:D
Nothing can compare

    Step 1
    Get new sim card.

    Step 2
    Send an SMS from existing handset with existing SIM Card to 865555 with the Mobile Phone Number that came with your new SIM Card (e.g. 07999 123 456) as the message.

    Step 3
    O2 will send back a message confirming your upgrade and your free calltime credit amount.

    Step 4
    The calltime credit will be applied to your calltime balance in 14 days. The new SIM card and new mobile phone number will be disconnected.
