What's the catch though? There's always a catch! :eek:

I can't see the slightest downside to this, so I'm obviously missing something?!?!?

The only part I'm a bit skeptical would be "The standard 02 Experience Plus fair use threshold and policy apply to free calls (5000) and texts (5000) on this price plan. The details are available on 02.ie"

Not entirely sure what that meant..

True definitely can't complain.. can't even use up anywhere near that much anyway

39 left. It's about to be 38 when my brother gets his code.

Have a Nokia E63 locked to Vodafone PAYG, not spent the €127 over the last 6 months to get the unlock code. So if I order this in 4 days I will have an issue.

Options to unlock/de-brand? Thanks!

Google how to unlock your phone.

You could try this: http://gsmevolution.com/blog/free-nokia-unlock-code-generator-worldunlock-v44

I had googled and evidence suggested I needed an unlock code from Vodafone.

I tried the program you linked to, doesn't seem to work with Windows 7, tried XP compatability mode also.

Try this instead then:

log into vodafone website, go look for "get network unlock code" on the first screen after you log in, enter password again if it ask and the rest i think you'll follow just fine..

no need for shop to unlock at all.. good luck

Edit: Once you've done that, they should send you a code by email or text (depending on the method chosen).. and it is no harm to read how to use the code.. look for "NAC instructions" on the side menu to see how to enter for specific phone..

I've tried in Internet Explorer, and Firefox.

No Promo code being sent to me..

Anyone know what's up?

Did this yesterday and it took about 2 hours for the text to come through - i resubmitted the number 3 or 4 times and then thought that it just wasn't working or I had banjaxed it for trying too many times. But it did arrive eventually!

eddiem74, did you actually try to process the code on the site even though you haven't spend 127 in the last 6 month?? Or you just gave up once you saw that??

The last time I did it, I don't think I met the criteria and still got the code..

Yes tried, and it said I needed to spend €47 more euro to get the code. :rolleyes:

On the fence should I go for this or not, three have given me a good deal for ages.

My wife got her Gold Sim in the post today but it has turned into a bit of a nightmare trying to port her number.

She is currently on Tesco Mobile and tried to port this evening. The problem is that her Tesco number was orininally an O2 number and to complicate things further it was originally in my name on O2.

So the Gold SIM that she got is no good. She was informed that I will have to drive 25 miles to the nearest O2 shop to do the swap as the original number was in my name several years ago.

I'm starting to wonder if this is worth the trouble. There is bound to be some problem when I go to the O2 shop tomorrow i.e will I be able to get the Gold Sim tariff?

Have received the sim card with a brand new o2 number, and not the number I ported over. Whats that about? Also the free calls work but not the texts, anyone got any ideas?
