"Won" Orange Free Texts
Hello!
Registered an Orange PAYG sim card just before christmas, which came with £1 free credit. Text twice on it, and my balance is "£0.01". However I can still text! Weird right?
Well today, I received a text from Orange (Definitely from Orange), saying "Thanks for topping up. You have won 20 free texts for this weekend. We will send you a text in the next few days and then they will be ready to use. Terms apply."
There are a couple of strange things about this:
1) There is no mention on the internet at all about 'winning' texts.
2) I never topped up (Balance is still £0.01)
So...any ideas?
Thanks.
