I know this has been talked about many a time, but i know that its fully possible with a few things...
1) A set mobile number 07xxx
2) The correct message centre number...
I know that these 07xxx numbers also give free gprs wap...not as fast as the paid version but will works
ive also heard a rumour that its free MMS but i have spent ages getting my z1010 setup for '3's MMS and dont want to change the settings to test
Posted by Jake Blues
sorry, im confused!
are you trying to ask for settings for unlimited free sms?
ive been a genie/02 online prepay customer since genie started and ive never heard of this!
ALL genie/02 online sims give 300 txts a month free (very early genie sims give unlimited free txts, but these are impossible to find)
i never heard of a setting to give unlimited sms.
if anyone knows of this id love to hear it! currently i use my 300 txts per month plus another 250/300!!
of course everyone knows about port 8080 for unlimited gprs.
Posted by peterpan211
GPRS is not unlimited on o2...you get 1mb per month port 8080 is the PAY AND GO PORT where as 9201 is the CONTRACT port...
im not asking im telling you that its possible with a certain o2 pay as you go genie mobile number...

Yeh ive heard rumours about that, seems implausable though. Btw mate (peterpan211) wheres those angrykid vids you were going to send me? Lol
Posted by peterpan211
no it works - i have a sim myself and i also work somewhere to do with this
im just converting the last few now...just been one thing after another...
Posted by Jake Blues
so sorry, but if you set up the proxy server as port 8080 and the ip address as 193.113.200.195
you get free gprs.
ive had for a year now, its well known here.
Posted by sonusingh27
Yep, if you have 07834 number. You need to change the SMS centre number then you have free texts for life.
Many people I know have this. They cost over £30 on e-bay.
Don't know about the free gprs.
Posted by peterpan211
ten points for getting it right
you either work where i work or you know someone that knows someone that does

not sure if they know...
dont care - ive got a 07843 number that i dont use as im on contract with '3'....
Posted by harvey172
m8 is it 07843 or 07834?
Posted by owner
It's 07843, hey guys any chance of PM'ing me the message centre number or posting it up?
[ This Message was edited by: owner on 2005-05-06 03:23 ]
Posted by sonusingh27
Yeah, wish I could but I don't know it.
I was offered one of these sims. For £10. But I declined.
Reason for this is that if o2 find out they will certainly stop it. And I just recently ativated a o2 online sim. So I don't want a different number.
Also I heard you can't call from that sim. If you activate it, it will then cost you.
Is that true?
Posted by Lynx69
I had a lot of these numbers a few months ago but didnt know about this so i had sold them but ive still got 3 of them, i have one and ive given 2 to my cousins.
Regret selling them now
Posted by owner
Hey lynx have you successfully used the sim for free texting and is it true that if you make a single call from the sim the free texts no longer apply?
Posted by sonusingh27
I think so.
Posted by sonusingh27
It's 07834!
Posted by tomcoolj
I have one of these unlimited free text cards! My Number Is 0784389 it works its amazing sent over 2000 messages so far!

I just recieved a threat from o2!
"AS u have NOT topped up BEFORE yr anniversary DATE, ALL yr monthly allowances are now charged AT standard rates. TO restart yr allowance pls top up #10."
Above is what exactly what it said. Anyway the free text still works, gutted to o2! Any one else had this?

Hey guys any other advice on the free mms because it doesn't work for me
Posted by sunjivas
whats the message centre number guys? I've got a few o2 sims with this 07843 prefix.
Posted by sonusingh27
Once o2 finds out.
Bye Bye, free txts.
Posted by owner
I'm sure o2 already knows, it's probably not worth the hassle of changing network infastructure for a select few who are aware of this 'glitch'.
Posted by 666-999

Just found out that topping up doesn't stop you getting free texts, don't know who started that rumour...
Posted by Husher

I got my o2 sims the other day.
i got 4 of them, kept one for myself.
As soon as i put the sim in i had free texts, free internet meaning actual internet. and free picture messaging, ive heard there is a way you can get free calls, anyone know of this?
I dont think it is a certain number either, mine begins with 07871 and i didnt have to top up or anything, just had free everything from the beggining

Posted by buzf355
The message center number is +447802000332. I've been using it successfully for ages but all of a sudden now, it's stoped working. I think O2 have realised that it was being used. Is there any other centre numbers we could use for free SMS?
Posted by jenbones

Posted by amawanqa
My 07843 sim has stopped working (free texts) now as well, as of Friday morning. Mine had the +447802092035 sc number. I tried other sc numbers, including the ones ending in 332, 333 etc., which I got off a different site after doing a Google search.
On another internet forum, some bloke on the DVD Reviewer site apparently confirmed that the number/s no longer works since Friday 10/6, which might explain things, but is there anyone who knows for sure?
Which sc numbers are still working?
