    I had an O2 phone, but when I got a new phone (Meteor) I gave my old one to my Dad. He has gotten "Happy Birthday" messages on my birthday!

    seriously some free texts or minutes on your birthday would be a real win for them.

    I got them before too. Brown-nosing stunt.


    I hate it when they use your first name in their promotional shyte aswell, its creepy looking. Granted I gave it to them, but I didnt know they were going to use it to over-familiarise themselves with me.


    Address me by my proper title, you little bollix!


    :pac:

    OP, it's a safe bet they charged you for it at premium rate, so don't be too thankful! :D

    The automatic birthday text sending program cares deeply for you, more than you will ever know :)

    The final straw was when the toaster opened the door for me this morning. Judgement day on the horizon perhaps?
