I don't think this is anything new, but just incase anyone doesn't know - (like myself until 10 minutes ago), O2 has a free call alert service where if your phone is off or you are engaged, O2 send you a text containing the caller's number and time they called.

I believe the person calling is also played a message informing them that a text will be sent to the recipient telling them they tried to call (unless caller withholds their number obviously)

You can have up to 4 missed call alerts sent to you.

To turn the service on call 1710 free, to turn it off call 1760, also free.

And as it is 100% free you don't need any credit to take advantage of it :j :j

Silly question ?

Do you mean upto 4 in one go ? Or just 4 and that's it ?

Does this work on the a bog standard o2 PAYG sim card? The 1710 no doesnt work, also the 1760 turns off the voicemail for PAYG.

I read somewhere that the caller gets charged for hearing the message when your mobile is switched off.

This is a shame cos they could have done this free of charge as the caller is not exactly leaving a message!
