EE free £5 credit (to use within 7 days)

Not sure if this is invite only but EE sent the offer to both of my sims, so might be worth a try.

EE are offering £5 free credit to use within 7 days by replying 'YES' to 1231 (for the EE branded sim) or 1230 (for the t-mobile branded sim) before the 16th October.

No other info on the text they sent so hopefully not signing up for any spam etc by using the freebie. Hope this helps someone.

For clarity the original text from EE said:
"Summer go too fast? Cheer yourself up with £5 free credit for 7 days! Reply YES before 16 Oct. Thanks from EE"

I share you're cynicism but the original message just said "Summer go too fast? Cheer yourself up with £5 free credit for 7 days! Reply YES before 16 Oct. Thanks from EE" so hopefully we are not signing up to anything other than free credit.

I got the same text from Orange, only the reply "YES" is to 1224. I got a reply saying thanks, and that they'de be in touch within 10 days when credit is ready to use.

It seems you can use it for calls/texts on Sat 24th & Sun 25th. I assume anything outside this will use your credit.

Only works on texts and calls according to the text:

"Summer go too fast? Cheer yourself up with £5 free credit! Reply YES before 16 Oct and the credit will be added to you Orange plan by 23 Oct. Use it for UK calls and texts on Sat 24 & Sun 25 Oct."

I think it should work because at the end of the day it is still credit. Hopefully it works only time will tell :smiley:

bigjeremy to daniellndn

15 Oct 15 1 #32

No i have tried before.They had a similar offer in March,could only use on uk calls and txt,had on my ee payg sim but as already had bundled minutes ended up not using mine.The ones you get in the pounshop for £1 inc £5 credit work ok for txt donations ok though.

Am I the only one that got the credit then? The trouble is applied for it on a phone that I rarely use. :smirk:

Why would you get free credit if they didnt send you an invite text ?!
I have 3 sims that received the invite and all 3 now have the free minutes.

I had one that did not get an invite but texted for the offer anyway - and that sim was delined !

19 Oct 15 #43

for those who did get the free £5 credit and are unsure what to spend it on you can get a 500mb add on for one month by texting 500mb to 150 hope that's helpful :smiley:

RadicalCosmicalRainbow to unknownlaala

20 Oct 15 #46

I thought you could'nt use it till Sat/Sun. I was under the assumption (possibly incorrect) that what ever calls/text/data you use before then will come out your initial credit. I guess best way to find out would be to get the free £5 on an empty sim and test it. Just be careful not to use your own balance.

Can you confirm you have done this yourself using only the free credit and not your own credit by mistake?
Thanks

superivanho to unknownlaala

20 Oct 15 #49

so can the £5 be used towards other places like google play/ PSN topup or only limited to phone credits and bundles?

20 Oct 15 #47

I've used this method on two of my sims and both times there wasn't any credit except the bonus credit and it's worked fine. you won't however be able to do it through a call to 150 or through the EE app but if you text to 150 it should work

20 Oct 15 #48

Same here except it said t-mobile customers and I'm orange

unknownlaala

20 Oct 15 #50

sorry I'm not too sure about that...but even when you text BA to 150 it doesn't come under balance but bonus credit instead

I received the same message from Orange - but I swopped from Orange to BT 2 months ago... so I can only presume this is spam. Although, granted, BT use EE for their mobile network.

I got a similar message a few hours ago, today. No mention of EE or Orange in the message, just a four digit number named as the sender ("from 1224") so I deleted it just in case it was a scam.

I also got this message from 1224 on 30 Nov. "Christmas cheer! Enjoy £5 free credit! Reply YES before 4 Dec. The credit will be added to your Orange plan by 11 Dec. Use it for UK calls and texts on

18 Dec 15 #55

It's not a scam I'm on ee and got message so replied yes and now have £5 free credit to use within 5days which is pointless to me as I never run out of my data or mins and I've tried to buy app games etc and won't let me

18 Dec 15 #56

This is wot my text sed " Xmas cheer! Enjoy £5 free credit for 7days! Reply yes before 10 Dec. Thanks from ee. Text stop to 1234 to opt-out." I got this text on 7th Dec + I replied same day saying yes + got a text straight back saying "Thanks, we'll be in touch within 10days to let u no wen ur credit is ready". On the 14th Dec I got this text saying "Congratulations! You now have £5 free credit to use within the next 7days. To check ur balance, send Al to 150 Enjoy!". Hope this is useful to u all :smile:
