    Hi Jake thanks for the tip which I am so far on step 1 but my new sim the free one and the one I am happy to get disconnected I can't call 5450 from until I activate it with a 10gbp top up is that right ?

    When I dial 5450 I'm not given a code. A woman's voice just drones on about O2 and tells me I have £5 upgrade.I have tried loads of times. Have they changed it now? Is it working for anybody? If so, what is the process now? Thanks.

    thats what I am getting, dont want to press option 2 from original sim in case it cuts it off.. but option 1 tells you how much then the same waffle as couponmad by the sounds of it...

    anyone else tried it in last few days?

    thanks

    as i get it you ring 5450 from your normal number get the code then ring from the new sim 5450 enter your code say your name postcode house number then wait 14 days, well thats how i done it???

    Sorry for quoting my own post lol but thats how i done it. As for ringing of the new sim i managed too think coz its an o2 number its fine. I got £11.50 :j

    There is no point to top up. It is Free. Although if you have already topped up i would use the credit first obviously. :D

    It does take a minute or 2, and it has worked fine for me 3 times recently. Keep trying it, it does work. :D

    £21 woo! I'm confused though, it said it was going to disconnect my phone - which one though? My existing number or my 'new' one?

    Also, which phone gets credited?



    p.s. thanks a bunch for this, it's great! xx

    Actually you can use to get a discount on a new phone. if you listen to the msg on the first number you call it asks if you would like to find out what your discount off a new phone from an o2 shop would be instead of receiving your call credit dont think the phone is actually discount by the ammount of the credit due to you but as a percentage off although i could be wrong......not unusual!!!

    That's so strange as this offer is on a leaflet that comes with phones! Why would you want a discount off of a phone, when if you're applying for this offer genuinely you'd already have a new one?! :confused::rotfl:
