Great find, thanks :beer:
Pity you can only get two at a time.

Are you sure this is the real O2 web site, because if you click on the offers nothing comes up. Also, there is no mention on the O2 web site. This could be a site to get your address details etc... Can anyone confirm if this is 'pukka'?

i couldnt find it on the ucas site

The web address is a subdomain of the oficial O2 website. They wouldn't have access to the subdomains if they weren't affiliated in some way so this has to be genuine.

Nice find :-)

From the blurb on the site, it seems like there's only 300 free texts, but no minutes. As this is the first time I've gone for a free sim, can anybody tell me if you usually get free minutes as well, or is it just the sim you're going for (and you then pay extra for any minutes you want)?

Thanks

what it is is you pay £10 a month (not contract) and when you pay this £10 on the same day every month you recieve 300 free texts included with the £10. there are no free minutes but its pay as you go so if you decide its not for you just scrap it when you've run out of credit!

Hi Lexis
When you receive the sim card there will be a letter detailing the different tariffs.
There are different options you can choose from -
The call allowance will already be set to Talkalot with messages, 300 free txts plus your £10 top up is yours to spend as you like.
The other option available is Talkalot with calls and messages which gives you 100 free texts or 100 free anyone anytime minutes or a combination of both.
1 minute is equivalent to 1 txt, plus you still get to use the £10 credit as you like.

That information is not correct, these sim cards are different to the normal online ones. They include:

300 free anytime, any network texts
AND
150 free any network off-peak minutes
When you top-up £15 or more a month
10% of your top-ups back every 3 months

02 usually give the option of changing tariffs. The letter I have from the last batch have the above option too.
I've just changed from the 300 txts option to the calls and minutes.
