    I think all that will happen is o2 will contact you saying you that they have made a muck up on the site and they reserve the rights to cancel any product mispriced on the website and will phone you and ask you if you would like the product on the correct price before cancelling it in some cases.

    If you have ordered and it says you will receive your phone, don't get your hopes up!

    This is like talking to a brick wall. None of you will get ANY phone by using this exploit.



    That means absolutely nothing. I could show you public forums that give out 'hacked' credit card numbers, doesn’t make it legal.

    As Kilty pointed out, this is a 'soft hack' of the O2 site. Before you start crying or trying to justify this, I’m only passing on information that O2 spoke to me about.

    That's a silly thing to say :rotfl: , using 'hacked' credit card numbers is taking money without someone's knowledge and obviously illegal, whereas O2 are in complete control of their own stock and can decide themselves as to whether or not they actually send anybody a free phone or not.

    Not true I am afraid, and before I get flamed, I worked for o2 high level technical support for a long time before moving on to goverment security cleared web hosting.

    Sorry but o2 are in total control of their systems. The cached version shouldn't link to the live version for one - it's a joke we all got confirmation emails in the first place. If they chose to honour it and send us the phones this is still not illegal, its their choice.

    o2 no longer sell the phone so don't have it to send. No-one has broken the law. It is NOT 'soft hacking' (and I will not reveal what is!) - finding stolen credit card numbers isn't legal, or a glitch of a site, or something someone can do without knowing the implications of it. It's theft pure and simple.

    We don't see the phones but no need to panic.
