Orange free texts question

If I get 300 free texts by topping up by £10, do the texts run out after the next month, or do they carry over?

    they expire at the end of the month, ringing 453 will tell you when they have to be used by
  • I've topped up as advised by Orange before 14/2 to get 300 free text but have not had the text yet:confused: Will they not start till after the 14/2 then?

    thats the start date for your free txts they will not start till that date
  • A couple of other questions:

    If I top up by £10, is the £10 used before the free texts are? Or am I able to keep the £10 for calls and use the 300 free texts straight away?

    I have been told that my contract with orange will automatically revert to payg when I activate my new sim. Do I still have to be on the contract for 30 days, or does it change immediately?

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve
