    Maybe he wants to find out if the OP meant the midnight at the beginning of Nov 6 or the one at the end, with out being ridiculed for asking such a question!
    Or...

    if the credit has to be used by that time,
    or... if you can add another pound to the same sim (as Scrounger seems to suggest):)

    Sometimes you learn more here on mse than on the pukka website. :beer:

    - Midnight tonight (6 Nov)
    .. if the credit has to be used by that time
    - No, never expires
    .. if you can add another pound to the same sim (as Scrounger seems to suggest):)
    - what I meant was that the previous day, the 'Yes' text to 40773 was not working and Sainsburys CS (40775) were applying a £1 manual credit instead. The next day I found that the text method was working and was able to claim another £1 by text on the same SIM - I'm still waiting to receive it mind. :eek:

    The handy thing a about this FREE £1 credit is that it transforms an otherwise virtually useless old Sainsburys PAYG SIM into a useful emergency SIM. As you only need to make one call/text every 180 days to keep it active, spending only 2p every 6 months (4p per year) would means that the £1 credit could last up to 25 years on standby!

    Good old Sainsburys :j

    I did the text and had a text back saying it would be added within 24 hours but it hasn't so far after 35 hours, but it was worth a try
  • What do you mean by "not working"? I sent my text at 23.55; is something supposed to happen, or were you just unable to send the text?

    'Not working' in the sense that once the text is sent, you receive a text back saying £1 credit will be applied to your account. Only worked on my current SIM, none of the others.

    I texted on 6 November using my current SIM but got no response.

    I just checked. 'You have no calling credit'.

    Oh well, nothing lost.
