Pity these werent there 4-5 months ago.
I was with o2 and had 4 spare sims and ported over vodafone because they had a offer of €50 credit for each sim.
So that was grand until i noticed vodafone brought out iou buddy where you can transfer credit from one sim to another which i did and now i have transfered the full 4 x credits to my vodafone sim,ie €200 free credit!!

This promotion is over but i transfeered another o86 sim over last week and got €12 after registering.

So i think i will get these also and if poss port over and get 5 x €12 unless theres something in the small writing!!

regards

guys, just a word of advice, I ordered 10 myself but let's try and not take the absolute piss
as O2 won't be too fast about making such promotions in the future.
You can be sure a O2 PR person is reading this thread, too.

Are y'all missing the fact that all calls to mobiles and landlines are 49c per minute?

That's a RIP OFF, not a bargain!

Or you can have free calls and texts to your top 10 friends, so long as you top up 30 eur per month - what are you going to spend that 30 euro on if you're texting and calling your friends for free?

I think i'll stick with Three. 5c text/video/picture messages to any network and free skype and msn is far more of a bargain IMO.

jaysus...for the sake of 2 euro why would you bother? It will just confuse your friends when you text them from that number and then go back to your old one.

No, existing o2 pay as you go customers can switch to this 'freedom' plan by going to o2.ie

Solitaryman666 - do you not see how you're going to be left with LOADS of credit on your phone that you aren't going to use? That's why I don't think this is the bargain they are making it out to be!

Is that complicated? I got my vodafone Porting Sim in the post yesterday. Do you have to ring up either network?

Oh dear. There may be trouble ahead.

Did you get a 5 digit porting code by text to the number you are porting? If so you will need to call vodafone and give them the code. They should then port the number within 2 hours. I did that last week and the number is still not ported.

I hope you fair better.

Not sure if O2 had stopped sending the fee sims but I see they are giving a max of 4 free sims at www.freesims.ie, just in case anyone is interested.

Yes!

Change the o2 sim to vodafone. Takes 5 minutes, you have to go into a vodafone store. Register online after to get 80 euro (ten euro a month). Then use the IOU buddy system to put the credit on your own account.

Do it with all 5 sims to get 400 euro!!!!!

Ive ported 5 of these to vodafone & registered them...

I thought I would be getting 10 a month sent to these. However I got a text from vodafone telling me to top up by 10 euro to get next month’s 10euro free credit.

Is this correct? I see that this is mentioned on their web site now but I could have sworn there was no conditions attached to the 80 euro free credit when I ported these!
