o2 PAYG sim free texts
I bought a o2 pay & go sim card from the o2 shop for a spare phone I have aquired. When I got the sim the woman mentioned something about 'gene' free text messages. I topped up the sim card with £10. That was 4 months ago and the sim keeps topping up with 300 texts every month even though I haven't added any more money to the sim. Is this the case that you get 300 free texts per month even though you haven't topped up?

looool. Tell us your secret!
![]() Na, thats not normal. Normally, after 30 days your texts expire and you get a text saying to get another 300 texts, top up again. You are soo lucky :P |

Hey,
I just put one of my O2 Sims in an old 3410 (ignore my thread, the phone needed unlocking! )And I sent a text and it worked, I texted BALANCE to 20202 and it said, "You have 299 texts and 1MB wap to use until 10/07" Do you think I'll get them every month? Salt |

There's absoloutely nothing illegal here. It's a loophole in the O2 network, they are perfectly legal as it's the network's fault. I'd keep it quiet though incase they decide to make a fix on the problem.

OMG ur joking!!!!!!
my free allowence was ment to expire on 15th june and i wasnt going to topup (got £13.15 credit left) until i go on hgoliday at end of the month. thought as its just before midnight lets see how many trexts iv used this month by phoning 4444 and pressing 2 twice. i heard "free monthly allowence: You have 300 messaging units and 1MB GPRS WAP remaining." this expires on 13th july. i think it is just because i toped up last month though. iv toped up once since iv had it and if this works got 600 messages. so iv just got to keep a tenner on here at all times. if i put say an extra tenner on to make it £23.15 would if mess it up? i have a feeling its connected to some kind of offer though and on 13th july i wont get any more texts - they always said o2 was the best network in terms of value

hmmm my 'Genie' SIM seems to be messed up. I text BALANCE to 20202 and I just get ignored. I call 4444 and do 2,2 and I get "Sorry, Either you don't have a bolt-on or you have a bolt-on that we can't read out a balance for.". And when I top up I get my 300 free texts but they last until the texts run out not just 30 days and I get unlimited GPRS not 1Mb! So I'm not complaining!
