Hi.

The reason your friends are being charged is when you change from payandgo to contract or viceversa is that your number has to undergo a disconnection from the O2 system. It takes a couple of days to reregister so at the moment your number is not recognised as an O2 number hence the charges to friends.

Once its registered it will be free again. If your friends call customer service they will be refunded the charges.

Please post this on your thread.

Regards

jonsie

Have your friends topped up within the timescale needed to get the free mins?

Is your phone working ok - can you call and text out yourself, for instance can you text your friends who can't text you out of their allowance without charge.

Maybe they don't have the allowances or have topped up more than once in a month

I did suspect that - either way the problem is with the originating phone, where the charge would be inititated, not the OP's phone or account.
