What's the deal?

The BBC is offering a free copy of Olive, a food and travel magazine, when you call 0844 848 0093 and quote code OLMS408 (before 22 April 2008).

Lines open Mon-Fri : 09:30am - 08:45pm and Sat 10:00am - 01:45pm.
Calls to 0844 and 0845 numbers will be charged at 5p per minute from a BT landline at any time and rates may vary for mobiles.

Just give your name and address and you'll be sent a free copy. The operator is also likely to offer you a further two copies of the magazine for £1, but you'll need to give credit card details or direct debit details for this. The free offer does not need you to give payment details.

There are 10,000 copies of the magazine available from this code

Where's the code from?

This offer is mentioned elsewhere on the forum by freebielover, so thanks for the top spot. When we spotted the code we checked with the BBC about the deal and it asked us to use this specific code so it could track how many people asked for the mag. Whilst it's a special code, there is no commercial relationship between MSE and the BBC.

just rang, total phone call less than three minutes, no problem with not ordering the other 2 copies - I just said as I had never read the magazine before didn't know if I would like it!!

Just got straight through a second ago... very quick and easy. Tried half and hour previously and got cut off after waiting a couple of minutes. Went for the 3 issues for £1, cancellation details are sent with each issue or cancel the d/d direct with your bank.

Looking forward to my first issue!! Cheers charliepoo!!

Just registered to post on Forums so not sure how to do this however....
0844 phone numbers cost an arm and a leg so if you want to get the free mag dial 01795 414500 and they'll put you through to customer services. Much cheaper. Just waiting now for my freebie either the june or july mailing..

Just called on this number, they transferred me to customer services who did not have a clue what I was talking about. Lovely lady took my name and address though and said she will send me a free copy in the post - result!!

Just ordered mine. Friendly man on the other end of the phone who had no problem with me declining the 3for 1 pound offer (which I did want but all my card details were upstairs!). He just asked a few questions such as do you read any other BBC publications, where would you buy them from etc. The call lasted 3 minutes. Thanks so much for this great freebie!
