Eg, the 50 minute x-net bolt on normally 7.99 a month to add, is free for the first free months.

Read the t&c carefully it says you must have topped up at least once to qualify.

    You seem to missing the point.These free bolt ons are in addition to what you have already got.So if you have got 100 inclusive xnet mins you can have 150 for the first 3 month,and still get to keep the £10 a month and so on.Their are numerous combinations available.

    I top up my phone by £15 a month i am on the Talkalotmore Tariff.I get

    300 text messages.(Free)

    150 Cross Net Mobile and 01/02 Evening and weekend minutes.(Free)

    50 Cross Net Mobile and 01/02 any time minutes.(Free for 3 months)

    I pay 4.99p a month for the Family and Friends Numbers Bolt On.I nominate an 07744 access no as a friend.Which allows me to phone Intl numbers,UK mobiles,and UK 01/02 numbers for 12.5 first 3 min,s then 2.5p thereafter.(1p at weekends)

    I have the intl bolt on (Free until early January).Which means i can send IntL Texts for 10p.

    Also to cap it all i still have £10 of the credit left to play with.

    I consder it to be a great deal for me. :D

    It's a special simcard

    http://freesim.o2.co.uk/messages.php - apply for one (or four) on that link.

    when it arrives you top up at least a tenner a month and you get free minutes or texts.

    To get the 300 free texts you have to top up £10 a month. It doesn't cost anything from your credit, you get the messages for nothing.
