NOT TRIED IT BUT IF ANYONE WANTS IT

....................................
SIM CARD SCAM.

1 Firstly you must have a o2 sim card installed into your mobile phone.(must
be the 300 text per month sim!)

2 Please note that there are different o2 sim cards,the 300 a month means
you have to put £10 in every month to recieve your 300 texts.

3 Once you have topped your sim card up with some credit you will find you
have the following;

£10 worth of talktime,
300 wap minutes,(once registered)
300 texts.

4 Take notice of what date it is on your mobile phone when you top up.

5 Use your phone as normal for that month or until you run out of texts.

6 Once you have run out of texts,reset the date on your mobile phone to the
date when you first topped up and DONT USE YOUR PHONE THAT DAY!!
(meaning dont make a connection with anyone with your mobile but leave
turned on!!)

7 The next day you can change your date settings back to normal.

8 Now all you have to do is wait for the new month and you will recieve a
message from o2 saying"THANKYOU FOR TOPPING UP,YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FREE 300
TEXT MESSAGES"

9 No matter where abouts in that month you run out of texts,You
only(ONLY!)get a max of 300 texts per month so make sure you dont run out
halfway through the month as you will have to wait till the start of the new
month to get your free 300 texts.

This scam doesnt work.... It is a RIP OFF - considering that your phone doesn't send the date to the operator or the date is not checked by your operator....

To billybongos - just wondering where u found the info for the free texts cos i saw that thing on ebay for 99p also - if u didnt pay 4 it, is it the same as being offered on ebay?

However, if anyone does feel the need to try it (or if there are any other free o2 simcard scams) please post results here

Thanks in advance!

Because you have to top up 10 quid every month and thus they can afford to give out their sim card considering they make good profit

Hi sorry not sure if its the same as on ebay sorry but for 99p worth a look i think .. the simcards are good for 99p i've brought 12 now and sell them on ebay for a fiver each and thats cheap to the other people :)
I also use the card myself, it is £10 a month but that is credit and what you dont use rolls on to the next month plus 300 free text and 300 wap plus if you dont top up it just goes to pay as you go :)

am i right with this

buy the sim for 99p, as long as £10 goes in each month u still get the 300 txts and wap minutes.
but if no £10 it just goes to a normal pay as you go sim where u can top up whenever u want?

cheers

If you top up £10, the free texts/wap last a month, after that the remaining credit acts as pay-as-you-go. However, after 90 days, if you have not topped up, the number will be disconnected and any remaining credit lost! This is at least the case with the free PAYG sim card i got from o2...

Hope this helps

so this makes the sim card unusable?

so in other words o2 are forcing u 2 top up...


OMG lol
