This is suppose to work but im not sure i havent tryed it... Have ago >>>
1. Firstly you must have an o2 sim card with 300 free text offer
2. Top up £10 of credit (as required)
3. Take note of what date and time you topped up (this is important)
4. Use your phone normally that month untill you run out of your free (300) texts
5. Once you have run out of (300) texts reset the date and the time on your mobile to the date and the time when you first topped up.
6. DONT USE YOUR PHONE THAT DAY, THAT MEANS DONT MAKE A CONNECTION WITH ANYONE, BUT LEAVE YOUR PHONE SWITCHED ON!
7.The next day day make sure its after 24hrs set your phone back to the correct date.
8. Now all you will have to do is wait till untill the next month & youle get a message from o2 saying "THANKYOU FOR TOPPING UP YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FREE 300 TEXT MESSAGES"
9. You can only get 300 free textsonce every month so make sure you dont run out half way through.
10. Now all you have to do is repeat this every month so no more need to top up (free texts for life)
Let me know if it works.

Wouldn't it be easier to just top up like I do? Admittedly, it's annoying to have loads of money on your phone unused, but for free texts and phone calls it's worth it! By the way, if you've been with o2 for 6 months, you can pick more free texts/minutes as your o2 treat.

One thing I noticed last year when I was in Spain, if I made sure my phone registered with E Vodafone rather than Movistar then if I sent a picture message my balance never dropped, although it did with a normal text. I'll try it again from tomorrow when I'm in the Canaries!!
