O2 Free 2.50 Credit Not Working

Hi,

I received few O2 SIMS couple of weeks back. Today I tried to register them ( To get Free 2.50 credit) via sending SMS to 21500. But it says cannot send message at this time.
I tried to call this no. also but no luck.

I tried to register online and it says u need to be in call credit to receive 1 pound call credit.

Any One else also facing this same issue.

Looks like all those gud days of Free O2 call credit are over

    I thought o2 had reduced the credit for registering to £1 a while ago.

    Is it back to £2.50 again now?

    it changed to a £1 round about march time and i havent been able to even get that.when i rang CS ( twice) i was told that you have to top up first before getting owt
  • Yesterday I registered via O2 website. Till now haven't got any free credit .There it is mentioned that to get 1 pound free credit, you should have credit on your mobile no. If you have zero balance on your new SIM, you won't get the free 1 pound credit.

    Previously, it was not like this.

    Does any one has received free 1 pound credit on a new SIM with Zero balance after registering with O2 website OR 21500 number.

    you DONT get credit anymore without toppping up. LIAR

    dont think there is any need for that!

    the following is from the o2 website.


    Thank you for taking the time to register with O2. Now we can make sure you're always in the know.

    Remember, your handset must be in credit in order for you to receive and use your free calltime

    James thinks worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere
