I signed up to the BB SMS service from the official BB site. Since then I've had two SMS messages in one week. Pretty poor.

There are SMS vouchers that can be bought in the shops, bit like the Pay as you Go vouchers - you enter the code number of the voucher on the site and then you get 2 weeks of updates - I think they cost £4.99.

Has anyone found any shops selling these - I've looked in all the big supermarkets round here (as they all sell mobile phone vouchers) but haven't yet looked at some of the main high street shops.

Has anyone used one of these vouchers? Are they worth the money?

Hi Katie,my friend picked up a voucher from whsmiths once activated it lasts for 4wks you just make a choice from the options list I think he went for the ringtone,operater logo & the text updates from the diary room.

Thanks, I shall hot foot it down to WH Smiths tomorrow lunchtime and see how well spent my £4.99 will be!

Hi katie!
my friend signed up 2 the BB sms and she also only got 2 text messages in 1 week how dumb is that?
they say that they will keep u up 2 date with the lastest gossip from the house and then only give u 2 text messages.
how rude are these people?

I think it is simply that they want people to buy the £4.99 vouchers so that they can get the cash!

Last year I signed up to the SMS service and got at least one message every two days, sometimes one a day.

Unsurprisingly WH Smiths knew nothing about the vouchers - fortunately the BT Phone shop had an advert in the window - such a nice woman served me - she wanted to chat for ages about BB, asking me who I want to win etc etc.

So I activated my voucher, already had one message - didn't go for the ringtone or icons but chose the diary room updates, pyscho-analyst reports and behind the scenes news. If I at least get the service they've advertised then the £4.99 will be well spent. If not, well it's only just more than a packet of ciggies.

I havn't been able to find a voucher so I subscribed for the free service
not to bad and they were really quick with the eviction news.
Still want a voucher though.
