02 Pay & Go Offer
 
Just topped my phone up with £10 credit, and when you ring up the Top up line, they go though all sorts of offers. This is one which i have taken up. If you text the word 'Reward' (without quotes) to 50202 you can claim 10% back on all your top ups. The text is completely free from your o2 Mobile phone.

orange appear to be offering an extra £5 if you spend £10 in a week on calls/texts. looks like pay as you go is getting very competitive.

I was with Orange once, the Virgin Mobile, and now o2 as they are the cheapest.

I know you can use a virgin sim card in a t-mobile phone - but can you use a t-mobile card in a virgin phone ? (without unlocking I mean)

Sorry to barge in here but I was looking at phones earlier and was thinking of getting a virgin phone (but i have a t-mobile sim) I have put virgin sim's in t-mobile phones with %100 success and was just wondering if the process is reversable.

Now normally I'd just agree with you, But virgin use t-mobile's network and a t-mobile handset doesn't need to be unlocked to use a virgin sim.

The trouble is I can't get hold of a virign handset to try it :(

I believe the issue is that T-Mobile phones are locked to the network (T-Mobile) so any SIM that uses the T-Mobile network (T-Mobile, Virgin, Fresh, easymobile, oldBT) can be used in them.

However, I believe Virgin phones are locked to the service provider (Virgin) and not the network (T-Mobile). So you can only use Virgin SIMs in them (but on any network that Virgin have an agreement with (so they could move to the Vodafone network, for example, without having to unlock the phones).

However, you can get a free unlock code from Virgin providing you have topped-up with at least £30 since connecting.
