read between the lines!

"FREE TEXT TO ANY COUNTY YOU LIKE"

"I DONT OFFER RETURDS BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVA NO WHEN THE FREE TEXTING WILL FINISH"

Personally, I would buy a sim card off someone who knows how to type...

How do you do it then??

A quick google shows:

"1 Firstly you must have a o2 sim card installed into your mobile phone.(must
be the 300 text per month sim!)

2 Please note that there are different o2 sim cards,the 300 a month means
you have to put £10 in every month to recieve your 300 texts.

3 Once you have topped your sim card up with some credit you will find you
have the following;

£10 worth of talktime,
300 wap minutes,
300 texts.

4 Take notice of what date it is on your mobile phone when you top up.

5 Use your phone as normal for that month or until you run out of texts.

6 Once you have run out of texts,reset the date on your mobile phone to the
date when you first topped up and DONT USE YOUR PHONE THAT DAY!!
(meaning dont make a connection with anyone with your mobile but leave
turned on!!)

7 The next day you can change your date settings back to normal.

8 Now all you have to do is wait for the new month and you will recieve a
message from o2 saying"THANKYOU FOR TOPPING UP,YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FREE 300
TEXT MESSAGES"

9 IMPORTANT!! matter where abouts in that month you run out of texts,You
only(ONLY!)get a max of 300 texts per month so make sure you dont run out
halfway through the month as you will have to wait till the start of the new
month to get your free 300 texts."

However, I don't think it works anymore (don't know if it ever did)

The reason why these Sims are so valuable is because you dont need to top up by £10 each month to get the free texts.

Let me enlighten you all here, some people on eBay will sell you a way to get free texts, something to do with tricking your phone's date and always getting 300 free texts a month with no top-up, BUT this doesn't work and is a bit of a scam.

HOWEVER there is some sort of scam with O2 numbers that begin with 07843 that you can trick and get free texts - that is until O2 stop this.

Just want to add that I have nothing to do with this and don't know how to do it (don't want to either) it's just something someone told me as I was wondering the same.

Apparently these can sell for quite a bit, thinking people have been picking them up on the cheap on eBay and flogging them.

marty1888

because 02 messed up and it requires no top up to activate.

RACHIE77

Well I know I certainly have to pay to top up mine, can't get my head round trying to work that scam out and i gotta wait til tomorro for my free txts!!
