I wouldn't mind the free texts, but for me the whole point of having a PAYG phone is so the phone company doesn't know anything about me. Cynic that I am, this just looks to me like a way for them to get around that.

Ice, y would a mobile company be interested in u? forgive me here but ???? i work for one & dont give a fcuk about who does what! & why would we? as long as u use it it pays our wages
Everyone with a registered mobile phone is on a database. The combined information of all the information about you on all the databases owned by the companies you deal with, form a profile of you. Your buying power, your spending habits, your lifestyle, your interests... all this information is collated and sold to anyone who wants to know whether you'd be likely to buy whatever they're selling. Result: Spam. Spam in your letterbox, spam on your email, spam on your phone. Obviously the fewer databases you are on, the less detailed your profile and the less spam you get. Why else do you think the twat on the checkout in Comet or whatever tries to kid you he needs your name and address so he can sell you a kettle?

I disagree we dont care! as long as u use ur fone :S u have a pm
Who is "we"? Do you presume to know what everyone in your company does? Take it from someone who used to make a living out of finding and selling information - every time you put your name on a piece of paper, or tell a company your phone number, or use a credit card to buy anything at all, your consumer profile increases, and there are literally thousands of companies buying and selling that information.
Last month I made the mistake of using my cashcard 500 miles north of where I live. Three days later I got a circular from a Scottish hotel chain. Coincidence? Absolutely not.

answer ur phone!
No. :lol2:
Tell you what, when you get back to work, look up the number, then ask yourself why it's listed as belonging to a Mr A. N. Other whose home address is a coffee shop in a railway station.
Oh, hang on... I think the name I used for that one was Gary Goldfish. Long story, very boring. ;)
I'd agree with Ice Pie
I also work for a Mobile Phone Company, and even I get all the monthly bumph through with my bills. Not one bit of it has any relevance to me. Competitions that I cannot enter because I'm an employee of that company, Things to allow me to switch to a better tarriff ( even though no public tarriff will ever beat the staff one) etc etc etc. Trust me, I begin to worry when my compsny is not averse to making a fast buck at my expense and selling my information on to other companies.
The main reason why O2 are giving away "free" sims is that the mobile phone has reached market saturation, and this is about the only way now, that thye can manage to squeeze a few more shekels from an otherwise overloaded market. You don't think they'd be giving them away out of the goodness of their hearts now do you? Nothing in life is free.
My own company has gone from being wildly keen to sign up all and sundry to now wanting to look after what they class as high value customers. We had an email from the chief executive at the beginning of last year - exhorting us to get our friends and family to spend "one minute" more on each phone call, and to try out new data products - all so theiy could pull in more money. So with this in mind - I'd say to you - leave voicemail messages when calling company mobiles - it's a darn sight quicker, and cheaper to boot!

Register with Telephone Preference Services and Mail Preference Servicces to stop all unwanted mail and/or calls. Worked for me!
:P
Yep, me to Jags,
is the TPS (Telephone Preference Service)
is the MPS (Mail Preference Service)
You can also register your mobile phone with the TPS, I think I have had two sales calls on it in the 12 months I've had this phone.
You can also tell your postie that you don't want any unaddressed mail, you shouldn't get the other shit that he leaves these days either then.

Had my contract number for 3.5 years and had one sales call cos i forgot to tick a box on a form!
Always ensure that you tick said boxes on any forms you sign.
Why do you think that tescos are doing so well profit wise? They use the information everytime you use your clubcard and are able to build up a personal profile of you and your spending habits along with store stock levels and regional trends. They can see if local advertising works for certain products.

It sounds like a great offer (O2 did something similar about a year ago at least) so I looked for the link to the actual offer on the O2 website but couldn't find it. Can anyone oblige?
Hope this isn't scare mongering - just trying to see through some mist - sorry if I've caused any trouble.

If you keep applying, they keep sending the cards... laddo turned it into a nice little earner as if you go to the shops it costs about 10 quid for an O2 sim on its own... so he got 16 and flogged them at 5 quid a time! (except the one I nicked, lol)
Coverage is a bit crap in ilkeston, if you are in some places/buildings you loose the signal but hey, 300 free texts for 10 a month is not bad... and as I hardly use the phone to ring its saved me a fortune over a voda contract phone.
