Blyk uk - free texts and mins for 16/24s.

jesswater · 11-08-2008, 12:01

This is nice, free texts and mins (217 texts, 43 mins) for 16-24s. free as you get ads to your phone, but small price to pay really. http://************/5nnpew

Hope this helps

Click me for details

Is it any good ?

DXRulz · 11-08-2008, 16:39

No its rubbish, cant get the settings in order to be able to receive the MMS messages, no matter how many times you try. Also because of that, you never get the free calls and texts. But i have a friend on it who says its working fine so how come it would not work for me in 3 different unlocked phones using 3 different sims?

Maybe you are 25 ?

This was my attempt at a joke

DXRulz · 11-08-2008, 16:45

No it accepts my birth date (24 actually) but when i get the sim it refuses to call/text, noone can call/text it and no MMS ads come through.

cbates · 12-08-2008, 11:21

Their service has worked perfectly fine for me. I would definatly reccomend it to people!

DXRulz · 12-08-2008, 11:56

I've signed up again, then i need an unlocked picture msg phone, i will try it again and see what (and if) i have done wrong before.

DXRulz go to the blyk forums and get help there, the customer service is very active on the board and they can check our account personally, they should be able to find out what the problem is. The blyk site has a list of compatible phones too.

coopermanyorks · 12-08-2008, 13:30

How do they verify your age ?

Apparantly they require your passport details, however I was asked for no such details when I signed up and I've been using the service for a week today.

Get a Nokia 6300. You can't go far wrong with them!

DXRulz · 15-08-2008, 09:05

2 Days and still no phone!

DXRulz · 15-08-2008, 15:55

Its ok now im buying one off a friend

DXRulz · 15-08-2008, 18:55

Will a blyk sim work in an unlocked nokia 3220? as this was one of the phones i tried with one of my previous 3 blyk sims and it didnt work. But now its on the compatibility list so maybe they have updated their systems for this phone to work with the network?

If its unlocked I don't see why not.

cortina61 · 16-08-2008, 10:26

DXRulz - it should work in any unlocked phone

my son had big probs to start with, settings just wouldnt work

it was really bizarre, on the helpline they told him to go to a reasonable sized town at least a mile or 2 from where we live and try again

sounded like some kind of wind up to me, but he did it and it worked...........

a few interim problems ( posted elsewhere on here) but at leaast they had the decency to apologise and give £5 as goodwill gesture, which was quite impressive as most companies dont seem to give a sh*t about anything these days !
he was about to give up with them but all good at the mo....

DXRulz · 16-08-2008, 11:55

Well i'm getting this phone later on so i can say if it has worked or not.

DXRulz · 16-08-2008, 13:51

Got the settings and welcome message, it did more than the last 3 times! Wouldnt even do that!

Anyway when i log in on Your Blyk, this message appears...

Why? I have the settings and it sent the welcome message, what more does it want?!

DXRulz · 16-08-2008, 15:20
