Vodaphone free texting: $50 credit free?

[FROSTY:Me]

Vodaphone are having FREE text weekends this month --so ya just dont pay for texts.

i noticed the mispelling of the word "original" in the "original message from vodafone" i straight away knew it wasnt real

Whenever I get voda texts I just delete them.

I do however like the free texting on weekends thing cause otherwise I wouldn't have been able to reply at all.

[Slipstream]

Yeah some of you have got these txt's from me (I got it from a friend too )...funny innit how many friends you know with 021 phones...what supprised me is how many I know with 027's.

Yeah, I found out that it's if you txt the message to 20 new numbers that you get the $50.

Well at least it was free to txt, but hopefully our numbers won't be used for other crap because of this.

Sorry guys.

Heehee. I lost count after 20 of the damn txts.
I must have dumb friends...

god the entire word text'd this to me in the morning when I was trying to sleep in - pissed me off alot

[Ghost Lemur]

It's spam.

If it wasn't the text would have come from Vodafone.

Yeah i got that about 14 times... do I get $20 credit for that?

Hahaha 'gullible' is all I can think of.

I ended up sending back to everyone "--Orgnial mesage-- its vodappone free txt day. Any1 dumb enough 2 thnk u wil realy get credit for sending this wil get 12 swift kicks to the head. pass it on" Seemed to get everyones fingers off the forward button... none have come through for 7 hours or so..

Yeah I have got heaps of them starting from like 1 in the damn morning. I passed them on as there was nothing to lose I figured considering I only sent to Vodafone. Funny thing is, I have received two texts refering to the orginal scam one where it says something along the lines of

"Hi this is Vodafone, we are aware of the scam going around offering free $50 worth of credit and we appologise for this inconvenience. Please pass this on to 10 people and we will credit your account with a complimentary $20 free credit"

Maybe it was me being slightly cynical, but I really enjoyed that - passing on an absolutely pointless text on a weekend when things were free... The network was jammed mighty solid most of the day Methinks it was someone in the telescum operation that sent it out first. An interesting method of slightly underhand competition...

Got that text 13 times in 5 minutes yesterday morning

[pyrocam]

Im not as cool as you guys. I only got 3 texts.

Either that or my friends arnt dumb. (interestingly, all 3 were from women....)

but something alot of people forget is that vodafone have the power to mass dump text messages onto everyones phone nearly at once.

they used to send advertisments (without the pass it on and well give you credit) to phones back in . err. 1999 I think.
