Hi All,
Well i load my phone up automatically with £10 each month and i get enough texts for me to use for the month and i only make about £2 worth of calls.
So i now have nearly £50 in credit on the phone.
My phone provider is o2 and i called as asked how i would get some of the credit returned to me. Sounds sensible (its my money).
I was told NO not possible you received free texts for that so its spent. She then tried to get me to take out a contract. I asked to speak to a supervisor.
She hung up!
OK so i have a few questions
- Is it my money? My arguement is yes the free texts are for loading credit onto my account not for how i chose to deal with that £10!
-Am i entitled to it back??? My arguement is yes
Help and Advice appreciated

You are not entitled. Full stop.
You can get about 60% back through getpoundsback.co.uk0 -
As grumbers say, they do not return credit.
If they did, you could just use the same £10 over and over. Pay in £10, get the freebies for the month, get it back and then use it again next month...
It's in the T&C's somewhere.0 -
