Back to O2

[Anonymous]

So I’ve ordered a sim. It says if you register for my O2 you get £5 and you get £10 for texting free to 21500.

Can you do both? And if so in which order.
And do you have to top up with a voucher the first time? (still?)

— I’m already registered with O2 for forum purposes, so I guess that bums me out of the £5, or can I just register the sim with another email address to claim it.

Cheers ears!

First off you have to activate the sim by topping it up.

If you have a problem with the first top up you will need to use a voucher. There's no way to tell without trying.

The £5 bonus is for registering for your MyO2 and is not connected to the forum registration, but you need a new MyO2 account so a new email address is a good idea.

After a couple of days, to allow the sim to register on all O2 systems, text for the free £10.

If you have any issues with this, call 4445 and customer service will add it for you.

Right I’ll wobble off to ASDA to get a top up to save any issues.

Thanks

The £10 went on within the hour. top service!

Great service

but trying to rinse this £5 for registering for My O2 is proving more difficult. Fingers crossed this time..

FInally got my fiver, but saw an offer for 500mins, unlimted texts & 2gb data on the app for the same price & swapped to that. So all the credit that they've given me pays for the next 4 months.. well happy!

I changed a big bundle sim to that same one.

Made sense. Two gigs is more than enough on the spare sim and I got the fiver extra + another extention on the Disney+

A memorable number too

Glad you got a good deal @jonsie

Definitely been worth swapping from EE. O2 seem to be having something of an epiphany lately. Better deals for the little to no data user, it's one of the reasons i didn't choose O2 last time, but spot on now.

The Disney+ freebie wont be used.. if anyone wants it!
