lol for real?
i texted about an hour ago but i've only got about a fiver credit at the mo.

:Roll:

[rubber_ducky]

I did it, and they replied saying I'd receive my free texts.

I then topped up £10 and they instantly took off £7.99.

I suggest you don't use this. They WILL charge you.

I phoned them up, and they said the free airtime is only available to new o2 customers. Else you're signing up for a paid bolt-on.

However, they were fully cooperative in it being their mistake in telling me it was free, and thus re-creditted me my £7.99 and indeed the £1.14 it cost me to call them.

[andrews15]

I got another text saying:

your balance must remain in credit when your Bolt On is activated. As you have insufficient funds we will try to activate your Bolt On when you next top up

:shock:

so i emailed them and got this reply:

Thank you for contacting O2 Customer Service.

As per your request, I have cancelled the Calls 50 Bolt On from your account and no further amounts will be debited from your account when you top-up.

[strawburrytart]

[newcastler]

it is SUPPOSED to be free if u are a new customer tht have been with 02 for less than 6 months.

[ladfromdonny]

this did work, i did it in november and it worked got mine till sometime this month,

[strawburrytart]

[franbeec]

DAMN, I so wish I'd read the other comments before I sent that txt :|

[TURBODIESEL]

If you want to cancel this bolt-on at any time, text 'Calls50 OFF' to 21300

TD

[franbeec]

I just got a txt from o2 saying the bolt on will be activated within 48 hours, so does that mean I wont be charged £7.99 next time I top up?

[newcastler]

[newcastler]

and yes fran...its only a dream :P lol

Quote : In month 4 customers will be charged the standard Bolt On charge, currently Messaging 100 - £6.99/mth, O2 Home 250 - £4.99/mth, Calls 50 - £7.99/month. If you do not wish to continue with your Bolt On beyond the 3 month promotion you must OPT OUT at least 72 hours before your Bolt On payment is due. You will receive a notification text message 7 days before the end of month 3 informing you that you will be charged one of the above rates unless you OPT OUT of the promotion

[smilin_assassin]

if you've ordered the bolt on & get charged , so long as none of the calltime has been used o2 will refund , if minutes have been used you'll be charged for the month & a end to date will be added to cancel so yr not charged the following month , so Fran you should be able to order no problem , newcastler , complain all you want , if you've used any of the mins after being charged , no refund.

[newcastler]

but smilin if i dont get a txt saying that i am about to be charged , i hav a right to my money back , as the said on their site they will send a txt 7 days b4

[smilin_assassin]

like i said , as long as the minutes havent been touched , no problem , anyone could say they havent received the txt msg & then use the minutes.

[TheAnnihilator]

thanks Newcastler, I'm already signed up to them :)

lol at your sub name by the way, wannabe Mod *giggles*

i cant, the sim in my phone is a month old 2day (the phone is too)

[smilin_assassin]

you would still qualify, but you need to be quick , 2day is the last day you can register for the free calltime

[The Mullet of G]

Good old O2 manages to make a complete cock up once again, I like it. :D

[smilin_assassin]

& what cock up would that be muppet of g ??? or ya chatting crap again !!!

[TURBODIESEL]

& what cock up would that be muppet of g ??? or ya chatting crap again !!!

Youre obviously an o2 fan and your entitled to your own opinion, as is The Mullet of G.
But being cheeky to a moderator - probably not your smartest move!

TD.

[The Mullet of G]

& what cock up would that be muppet of g ??? or ya chatting crap again !!!


Hmmm this whole scenario reeks of familiarity haven't we already been here before?

[smilin_assassin]

turbodiesel , if mulletboys a moderator & feels the need to put a stop on me posting on here, then thats up2 him , i admit that sometimes o2 do have probs with their systems, but most of the calls they receive are from customers that have not followed simple instructions to get their free rewards, msgs , calltime , remembered their ann.dates, it pisses me off when ppl slag of something they have no idea how it works.

as for the calls50 , msg100 & home250 free for 3 months , its being run for another 3 months to NEW customers from the 11/01 but online/genie customers are NOT eligable this time.

[newcastler]

:o but what fool isnt on a genie sim card ????

No one wants to stop you from posting least of all me, just lighten up a bit and don't take things so personally, if you have a point you wish to get across then try and convey it without resorting to name calling and the like, people will be more likely to embrace your opinion and engage in constructive conversation, sure I like to have a pop at O2 but I'm not having a pop at you, just like I enjoy having a pop at France its all in good humor. :)

[smilin_assassin]

there's actually quite a number of ppll who still have not heard about genie sims, amazing but true ,lol. As for mullet of g , received & understood , i do get a lil hot headed sometimes, i'll try & keep under wraps ,lol.

[The Mullet of G]

Ah fear not my good man, no harm done. :)

[newcastler]

wtf!!! lol who are these people ... do they never get out??? lol

[TheAnnihilator]

i got 10 of them sims, unused in my "fone drawer" :D

[newcastler]

did the used to be offers for non-genie sims? b4 the genie sims came about

[franbeec]

Wellp, I need to top up..but I'm so not doing it until they confirm that they've deactivated the bolt on, otherwise it'll steal all my credit.

[TheAnnihilator]

I got £20 free calltime on New Years Day... :D

Here's the story!

I went to put £20 on and the woman behind the counter in my local Tesco Express told me that it wont accept the transaction... i was thinkin "i dont need this..." but i assumed the network congestion the night before might have had something to do with it. So she tried it 2 more times and it still said failed. so she gave me a voucher (it looks like a receipt) so i left the shop. Dialled 4444 and it went and told me my balance which i expected to be £0.00. It wasn't, it was £20.00!! It had accepted but for some reason the systems in the shop told me it failed, so i thought "what should i do with the voucher then?". I put the voucher in and it took me up to £40.00!!

I got £32.43 of it left :D

I'm not sure if the swipe card is faulty because i haven't tried it since that day, but if it is faulty i doubt i'll register a new one! :lol: :D

That happened to me once, sometimes the reciept says the transaction was rejected so they do it twice and you discover that it wasnt really rejected

[TheAnnihilator]

yeah i know, cool innit? :D

free credit rox!! :lol:

[Stub58]

I got told i had insufficient funds on my mobile :s and that when i next top up i would be charged!

[strawburrytart]

phone up bolts on and cancel it, thats what i did and it was fine (4444 then 2)

[TheAnnihilator]

i thought the bolt-ons number was 2425 ??? (is on my sim)

[strawburrytart]

yeah it is but you can get to the same menu by the top up line
