Free £10 extra for topping up with £15

[Anonymous]

I got a text from O2 saying that I would get £10 free allowance to use in the next 30 days for Calls, Texts, and Data.

This was the text: "O2: Hey you. Thanks for being such a fab customer. Have an extra £10 allowance on us when you top up £15 once by 08/01/2013. You can use the extra alowance for calls, text or data in the next 30 days. To stop SMS, call 2220."

My question is does this free allowance include premium rate calls and mobile payment services which usually come out of my normal call credit?

No premium rate calls or services will be included. Just normal UK mobile and UK landline numbers.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you also know if I can buy O2 Bolt Ons with this allowance?

No, it can only be used to make calls, send texts and use data.

Hi. Was it actually added to your a/c. See Elizabeth mesage

I haven't topped up £15 yet. Just another question lol, what happens if I already have an active O2 Web Bolt-on and then top up £10-£15 (Which usually gets me free internet/texts), would that give me the free internet allowance at the same time? Because I already have an active O2 Web Bolt-on.

I was also curious about this. I topped up to receive £15 extra credit for use in 2 weeks. I haven't used it much (probably about £2 worth) - so was wondering if I could use some to do one of those text £5 donation things. I'm assuming that means we can't? Shame - as I'd rather give a donation to a worthy cause than just waste it. 😞

It is a shame but you are right unfortuntely, you can't donate any unused credit as it never appears as credit on your phone.
