You know how it is, you’re just about to run out of credit and you really need to send a text saying you’re going to be late. Or make a quick call about tonight’s party. It’s always the way. That’s why if you’ve got less than 50p on your phone, we’ll lend you a quid until you next top-up.

All you have to do is call 4444 free from your mobile and select the ‘Lend Us a Quid’ option. It’s free as long as you top-up £10 in the next seven days and the £1 is repaid from that top-up

So that means if you are running low on credit, you’ll always have enough to get you by.

To borrow £1 of credit, just call 4444 free from your mobile.


LOL! sorry this made me laugh when i heard it. "Option 6"

When calling 4444 Topup line:

Option 1 Topup
Option 2 Call time or remainin bolt on balance
Option 3 buy, change or cancell a bolt on
Option 4 Activate E-topup card
Option 5 to get information on service or promotion
Option 6 Lend us a quid service

I was just checking my "call time or remaining bolt on balances" then I thought i would check the rest of the
options and there it was the last one... unexpecting it "Lend us a quid". My reaction... What the confused think
Definately gottta check this option out grin so I did and I thought I would post it up here to share this
information for those who didn't know smile

Excellent option am gona make full use of this.

Come to think about it, I think I remember seeing something about this maybe on either the o2 site, or one of the techy sites a few months ago? Might have been the register?

Great find though fella, im sure it will come handy for many peeps.

O2 have had this for while

You MUST have a balance of under £1 for this option 6 to become available


had to use it a couple of times

on next top up within a month they only take the £1 back off you.
any longer than a month, and they take £1.25
