Free texts for life

Connect a new SIM card (either with or without a phone) to T-Mobile pay as you go between 1st May and 31st August 2010 and you'll automatically be opted into our Monthly Text Reward. 

Successfully top-up £10 in a calendar month and we'll give you unlimited free texts to use during the following calendar month. We'll send you a text to let you know that you've earned the reward.

Providing you have stayed a member of the reward throughout the month we'll add your free texts to your account at one minute in the morning on the first day of the next month. You then have that whole month to use them in the UK . Use your free texts to text customers of any UK mobile network.

We'd like to remind you that your terms and conditions also say that you mustn't use our services to do anything unlawful or to send nuisance communications. At the moment, we‘ll decide that you're breaking this condition if you text more than 200 different numbers over the course of the month with your reward. Remember, we're free to decide that other types of use may also be breaking this condition. If you do break this condition, we'll disconnect your SIM card from our network without giving you any advance warning.

If you use, whether directly or through a third party, any device to route or re-route voice, text messages or other services on, from or to the network or you sell or attempt to sell or otherwise provide commercial services using our network to any third party, we‘ll remove this reward from you and/or disconnect your SIM card from our network without giving you any advance warning.

We're afraid that you can only be part of one of our top-up reward offers at any time, so you won't get Little Extras when you join with this offer.  If you try to opt in to another top-up reward or buy one of our 30 day Boosters, then you'll have to opt-out of this reward first. If you opt in to another reward prior to making your first top up, you won't get this reward. You can opt out of this reward at any time by texting STOP FREE TEXTS to 441.  Once you've opted out of this reward then you won't be able to opt back in again
