Hello everybody
I have top upped my o2 SIM Card with £10 and received a SMS/Text:

"O2: Great news. You've now got a £10 data Big Bundle with Unlimited mins, texts and 3GB of data to use before 07 Jul. We've deducted £10 from your balance."

If I now want to send a Text/SMS i get the message: O2: Your Balance is £0.00. Text Balance free to 20202 to check your remaining tariff and Bolt in allowances.

I thought I had already free Texts?!?

Your £10 is taken in return for allowances

Reboot your phone now. If you are still unable to send texts then contact O2. All numbers in this guide

@Norbert2 

Only standard UK texts are included in your allowances.

For any other texts you need to add more credit Guide: Your Allowances - what is and isn't included 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Then give O2 a call.

Try 0800 587 4005 first.
