    I cant understand the fuss. About 6 years ago I had one of these so called 'platinum' numbers. it ended in 111111 but all i got was stupid drunk people calling and texting me all the time when they were just making up numbers on there phone to have a laugh.

    It drove me mad, some where just stupid but others got abusive and it was from men and woman.

    Much prefer to have a more complicated number so people cant mess about calling up all the time.

    THIS ONE is offering free text as well. Perhaps that's why these are so sought after?

    Anyone know why that particular number can get free txts?!

    people used to be able to "trick" the o2 sim cards that you get 300 texts a month into thinking that you had put £10 credit on each month after the first (to get your free texts) by fiddling about with the date but as far as I'm aware it no longer works. I presume he's selling that method

    maybe the 07843**** numbers are the ones o2 set up for the free 300 texts/month

    Thats just info to reset the sim every month so you dont have to top up.
    It doesnt work.

    Are you positive it doesn't work on these SIMs and numbers?
