I just gave somebody 10 pounds phone credit by entering a typo

steal your friend's phone and do it yourself

I just rang o2 but they said they can't do anything, unsurprisingly. this fucking country. the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

...but randomly

exactly...the headlines say it all "banker's typo made him a tramp", "data error takes food from child's hand" etc etc

send a happy birthday text
if they say it's not my birthday
THEN demand they buy you credit

"key slip starts cyber-famine"

maybe they'll pay it forward

Get one contract and never have this embarrassing problem ever, ever again. Pay As You Go is for kids and/or those without full time jobs.

suzy, stop being a condescending jerk for once, will ya?

@ ian: when you stop interjecting between people who know each other IRL as if you've actually got something worth saying to either about this given situation, I might consider my position on whether or not I'm condescending. Until then, may I helpfully add that you forgot 'patronizing.'

I know it's difficult, but keep that pecker up, babe.

As someone without a full-time job, I can confirm that Pay as You Go is, indeed, for people like me.

Phone contract is U&K for me and wahey it's upgrade time. Basically I knew I'd spend more than £30 a month on PAYG and didn't want to get OCD checking remaining credit all the time or the worry of running out.

I spend £7 a month on mah mobile. Contracts can fuck off, to be frank. They're there to rip you off.

oh the ironing

switching to PAYG was the best decision i ever made. i make/receive like 3 calls a month.

i'll be a 30 yr old kid next week

Stevem a kidult? Never ;-)

I know people pay less than £30/month but yo am having to be in touch with lots of Americans, needed a nice phone ASAP and no landline at present. I think am just allergic to any PAYG plan, for anything, from having to deal with a KEY METER for electricity in a former flat. SHUDDER.

I need a contract but the fuckers want to charge me a 200 pound deposit to get one.

My dad told me that in his first job he accidentally sent some poor newsstand shmo a whole truckload of cigars by accidentally adding a zero or two.
