Free texts and minutes - no contract

Allan87

I came accross this today, only seems to be available to university students at freshers fayres unless you get an invite.

Blyk is the new mobile network for 16-24 year olds. It links you up with brands you like and gives you free texts and minutes every month.



How much do you get free?


When you join Blyk you get a free SIM with 217 free texts and 43 free minutes, to any UK network. Sounds good? Well it gets better, because every month Blyk refills this SIM and, like magic, your free balance returns to 217 texts and 43 free minutes.
If you want to text or talk more than that, you can top-up at 10p/text and 15p/minute.


How come Blyk can give you all this free stuff?

Blyk goes out and finds brands that want to talk to people like you. Blyk charges them for sending you messages, and gives you money back in the form of free texts and minutes.

But Blyk doesn’t just open the door to anyone that wants to message you. Each day you’ll get up to 6 brand messages. They’ll only ever come from Blyk and brands Blyk thinks you’ll be interested in.

To join Blyk you need an invite. Luckily there are a few ways you can get one.



Blyk will be on tour all over the UK


Blyk will be visiting universities, gigs and events nationwide. You might even find it in a shop near you. Just look out for the Blyk logo:

has anyone visited the Blyk stand at a freshers fair? what did they give out? seems like an intriguing business idea to me... did they actually give out invites, or just a code to text for an invite?

I've been on Blyk for a few months and it's really amazing. They hardly send any ads either, I was expecting loads of spam. I sometimes only get 1 a week and they're usually really interesting texts like news and gossip.

hmmm seems a bit dodgy somehow and I don't think unis with their supposed equality policies would like the age discrimination thing

I dont think its discrimination, no different to the young persons railcard for people under 26?

standard text rates apply when texting. not dodgy either, this mobile network is aimed at 16-24 year olds, you can get 217 texts and 43 minutes free a month.

Of course it's discrimination, how is it not? It's chosing a selection of the population by a non-choice factor ie age. This is just as much descrimination as if they said it was only for women or only for chinese people etc.

As for the rail card you can still get at any age if you are in full time education - so quite a bit different really....

I see where you are coming from mate, but you mention if you choose women or chinese people.

Well men cannot become women, and white caucasian cant become chinese over night. However every1 at some stage in their life will be 16, 17, 18 ect...

So technically i wouldnt call this discrimination mate.

System

Its age discriminated because the adverts are aimed at 16-25 year olds.

Also, if you join at 25, they won't cut you off when you are 26 years old - you just have to be 16-25 at the time of joining.
