Free texts for Orange ??

Rhino666

I picked up an answerphone message on my Orange networked Nokia phone yesterday - apparently if I text 07781 486562 with the word 'free' I will get 100 free texts credited.

Does anyone know if this is kosher ?

Thanks

maybe call orange from your handset and ask them. If it is, then please let me know about it!

Magsys online lookup for the number given is as follows:

Code: 077 814
Type: Mobile
Use: Mobile Cable & Wireless Guernsey
Operator: Cable & Wireless Guernsey
Tariff Band: Mobile and PCN 30/20/10p (f) (inc VAT)
Service: Mobile

It seems unlikely that Orange UK would choose to employ a Guernsey mobile/PCN number to promote free texts, but stranger things have happened. I don't think I'd choose to employ an actively-used sim with much paid credit or on contract to check this out unless Orange give it their blessing.

wow... impressive, i never knew that you can check someone's mobile details via the internet. not even i worked in a phone shop b4! well just as if you wanted cheap text, have you noticed that O2 does a offer that by topping up £10 a month you will get 300 text message? the tarriff is called 'talkalotwithtextmessage' link here: http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/choosetariffs

and they are giving 10% cashback on top-ups. see the other thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=41096
