Vodaphone free texting: $50 credit free?

**jazbug5** · 7th May 2005, 09:16

I just got a text saying that if you forward it to 20 other customers, you'll get 50 bux credit free...! Well, not sure how many of my mates are on Vodaphone, but does anyone fancy swapping numbers- i.e. setting up a group of 20 of us? Then we could all text each other and get $50 credit each...?
Or is this someone having a laugh?

Err Im sure it's someone having a laugh
Let me know if you guys do get $50...
Be glad to share my number if it does work

I doubt that would happen, however it is free texting all weekend VDFN --> VDFN

I got wunna those too

Found this on vodafones website

Oh hey remember to be sensible and don't spam your mates. If you excessively use the Vodafone Free TXT weekends, it may result in the suspension of services

I think it's just someone trying to be funny and spamming the vodafone network

Yeah well I got it too and I'm not even on Vodaphone - derrrrrr.

Yea the texts are free, but forget the credit. They have done this before and never came through with the goods! Vodafone can be wankers sometimes, but to a lesser degree than Telecom

Yeah i already got it 2 times in the last hour, i passed it on but i dont know if i had 20 vodafone people on my celly.

Pretty sure its a hoax anyway, they would have to give out heaps of free credit and how would they work it out anyway, I doubt they would check through thousands and thousands of txts.

I got one from a mate.
The only problem is that im on Telecom, so i doubt its going to work for him, thinking hes sent it to 5 "vodafone" mates

Oh well, hell realise soon.

lol. I suggest you call 777 and check that one out. I doubt VF would risk give $50 to everyone of their 1.4 million connections.

Hoax or not, it's bloody jamming the system up lol

Come on people! Grow up!

I get about 2309723095 of those a week, and I think i'll go bald from the amount of hair pulling I do from arguing with people that it's a bunch of shit! ]

PLEASE!
