    i have received some O2 sims (those on offer, remember those links and get FREE sims), i got those and apparently, i did not have to pay anything, just topped up £10 and they also gave me £2.50 credit + international Bolt on for FREE. this way from UK if i send a text abroad it costs me just 10p. if you have a O2 payg sim call them and tell them to add an internation caller/text bolt on..its was FREE until 3 days back..try it hurry...

    Have you got a number to ring customer service? Do I understand international bolt is free now? What happens if you text from abroad? Thanks

    its free until Jan 06, ie... the £4.99 one off fee is being waived until then so all register, you may never use it but if you have to at some point it will be £4.99 if you dont ;)
    If I helped or saved you money - Thank me
    If I helped you spend some money - spank me
    If I done both - :lipsrseal me:eek:
    :D
    ;)

    He got it wrong, if you "SIGN UP" before Jan it is free and you keep it. It does not go off. This is not an treat / award offer, it is seperate they done it before. In fact they have in the past "EXTENDED" But don't rely on it. So if they don't than if you don't sign up by 31st Jan than on 1st Feb they will charge you £4.99 for it.

    The full details of the Intl Bolt on offer can be found here.

    Even if you dont use it now you might as well get it for free now,in case you need it in the future.

    pricefighter when you mention the bolton you made it sound like you have to pay £4.99 a month afterwards like with the euro bolt on. Which alykhalil than replies "i see they never told me that..! what happens if you pay £4.99 one off for it..." So I just told him how it work, and but after re-reading what you said it was a misunderstanding and see what you are saying. (and again.) But it just not clear cause some people will think it is like a bolton and have to pay after Jan even if they had sign up to it before Jan during the free-period.
