    I don't know if it counts as a BA but I got an email saying if you text "Credit" to 50202 you'll get €5 free credit. I sent it off and they said they'll add it to my account by 15th December! :D

    I got it yesterday afternoon, and told my girlfriend (who's also on O2) - she never got the message.

    I'd assume only those got the message will be credited the €5 free credit, but I've been wrong before.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,919 ✭✭✭Grindylow


    Yeah the same thing happened with my mam, but she got the text this morning, so maybe your girlfriend will too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭Cheapo


    Cheers OP...free credit on its way to me by 15 december


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭markiemark2005

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 898 ✭✭✭Drummerboy2


    Worked for me. Hope there isn't a catch.

    I never received any notification from o2 about this offer but I did send the text after reading this thread (as did the missus) and got a reply saying the €5 would be applied to my account on Dec. 15.

    Cheers OP :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 946 ✭✭✭Enright


    many thanks op - just saved me 5 euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,901 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Worked for me. Hope there isn't a catch.

    Costs nothing to find out :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭lavine7


    Got the text saying i will get the credit so maybe it does work!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,729 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    Sound :D




  • I seem to remember a similar thread a while back. Although people got a message back o2 never gave them any credit. I've texted in but I seriously doubt they'll honour it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 marp


    Cheers! Sent text from hubby's phone he got it:) sent one from mine - no joy:(, still, great one of us got it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Velocitee


    Is it possible this is one of those "lend me 5 euro until I top up again" type things?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,004 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    Cheers op, just a bit wary of the wording "added to your account" seems to me like a €5 bonus when you top up by so much. still good though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭stevveyg


    cheers op!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,016 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'll chance it now - cheers OP

    Thanks OP got this message back

    "Hi there.EUR5 free credit is coming your way.It should be added to your account by 15th December.We'll send you a text to know when it has."

    I'd say they wont be expecting the few hundred\thousand people availing of this offer since it's on boards,be interesting to see if they honor it without any catches :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    I love O2. With no-strings-attached freebies like these and their O2 treats (like money off cinema tickets and free tracks from iTunes), I'm definitely staying with them, they know how to keep their customers! :)

    Nope, that's a different offer, this is advertised as "Free" and the reply says it's a "Free 5 euro" too. :)

    Unless it's two seperate accounts, I'd really doubt it!

    You'll be credited per account, not per message.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 541 ✭✭✭fonda


    Signed up for this earlier and then got a call from o2 about 10 mins ago and they gave me a free tenner credit too! :D


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    worked for me, thanks.

    I posted on FB.

    I'm sure others will when they see it, so bascially every prepay o2 customer in Ireland will be trying this.

    I'm on bill pay and got the confirmation message. Guess we'll have to wait till the 15th to find out.
