How to transfer excess airtime balance to bank?

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:16:23 GMT

Is there any way that I can take out some of my call credit and turn it into cash. Like pay it into a bank account or something?

I don't like taking a simple no as the first answer. Remember when they said that we humans would never fly?

I've thought of various ways of phrasing and paraphrasing or embellishing the answer for you but it wouldn't change the outcome I'm afraid. In truth, you will spout wings before O2 pay credit into your account. Sorry:smileysad:

Guess this is PAYG. Then no. If you're on contract then its possible especially in the case of a deposit but generally the answer is no.

Besides if you look at it from a fraud point of view....

There are mobile payment services that you can use to pay with your phone and a numerous charities that ask you to text to shortcodes.

I mean't that quote that said humans would never be able to fly/travel by air, yet we now have aeroplanes.

The only way I can think of to get the money as a credit is if you upgrade to a contract. O2 will then transfer any balance you have on PAYG to your contract account.

My favourite ways are;

Txt gambling(never know might make more)
Lotto syndicate

Most of all donate it to a charity.

Or you can ring my premium number

Lol that's what I like to hear I knew there would be ways if you searched hard enough. But what's Lotto Syndicate?

Yes I would rather donate to a charity than to be ripped off with the current standard charges for calls/texts.

That's fair enough, well my personal choice would be the make a wish foundation:)

Lotto syndicates are when 1000s of people but tickets together then split any winnings, increasing your chances of winning but of course you don't get the full money.

Even that yes:)

It's a shame you can't get it back but at least you know it's going to go and do some good.

Yeah I wasn't expecting to get it all back, but at least some of it. Now I will hold off donating to charities with cash to just use my phone instead lol
