Is it true there is a way of getting round paying the £10 a month top up on o2 to get the 300 free texts?
If so anyone know how it is done?
Cheers

only way to get around not paying the tenner top up but still getitng txt sent is by popping off to the post office, buying a stamp, writing a note and sending it, i do beleive you are not limited to how many times you can do this and i dont think there is a limit to how many characters you can put in the note too... i hope i was of some help

Ok, well I just came accross this today, it could be old news, in which case delete it, if not then enjoy. I haven't tested it as I'm too lazy 2, but just thought I'd share it.
"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,
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 IMPORTANT!! 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."
hope someone finds this useful...
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
However i also read this....
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.
______________________
THE ABOVE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO! the rest, yes do it all it will work!
this also happened to me 3months ago but this will only happen for two months of free txt. after the two months is up you will have to top up again.

That doesn't work because all neede infos are saved on the o2 server and work from there and not from the sim card. The time and date within the phone is only for calendar functions, alarm clock, etc.

i've had the same sim i got now for nearly 4 years, this is one of the first ones that came out, and i have had NO problems with it, if your the sort of person who uses the txting facility alot and uses wap alot then this sim is for you.

Hey all I've just registered. I have just received one of these sims, I got it for ten pounds off ebay and it is ideal for me because I text more than I talk!!
My question is whether I would be able to keep my OLD o2 phone number but whilst using the 300texts tariff, just to save the messing round of telling everyone. I know you can do this with vodafone, just transfer your number but Im not sure if it works with o2??
Any ideas?
