thank you for my surprise,i am more than happy with my 100 free texts to any network.most of my family are on o2 and we all get free texts and phones calls to other o2 users,however a few of my friends are not on o2 so this will help me to have more text time with them.thanks.

January 23rd, 2009 at 13:13
Dear Sirs, this seems to be nothing but a very timewasting con. Both my husband & I were notified of surprises. After struggling to find the correct site to log our code nos (make it difficult, why dont you) we were both told codes had expired. Rubbish. My husband recieved his on the 21st Jan – today is the 23th. I expect you to contact me to explain yourselves. You have our email address. We are entitled to our prizes. I intend to take this to the apropriate authorities. This scam cannot be allowed to continue.

I have tried Firefox and Safari which both say “There was an error while logging in” and when I use Internet Explorer it tells me my platform is not supported. I am on an iBook G4 using OSX 10.4
I tried the non-flash site which leads straight to a blank white page saying “Error page”.
Great stuff :/
February 28th, 2009 at 09:57

**** PLEASE JOIN ME AND REPORT THIS TO BBC WATCHDOG ****
I’ve been receiving the reward codes each time that I top up and have visited 02’s website numerous times to play both the silver and gold games.
All goes well to begin with. I am able to enter my mobile number and reward code as required and I even get to hook a duck (or 2 when playing the gold game).
Problem is when I go to collect my prize I am met with the message that says: ‘There was an error preventing you from collecting your prize’. SO HELPFUL!!!!
I have now spent almost 2 months making phone calls to 02’s customer services dept at 25p per call (from my mobile) and have been told various different things including:
1. To try and claim my prize again in 24 hours. (Doesn’t work still!)
2. They are experiencing technical problems which will be rectified shortly. (After 2 months of trying is this still the reason?)
3. The problem is my computer and to try and claim from somebody elses! (Not true as had the same result when trying from no less than 4 others!)
Also whenever I call 02 they promise that an advisor will phone me back within 24 hours and each time I wait 3 days before phoning them again!
Oh , by the way – I wouldn’t bother emailing your complaint either as they don’t acknowledge it let alone respond!
I’ve sent all these details to BBC’s Watchdog website – perhaps they’ll have more luck investigating this!
The more of you that report this to them the better chance we all have of getting our so called prizes!

July 28th, 2009 at 23:10
THANK YOU so so much!
Finally managed after about 6months of lost suprises and many contacts to 02 to fix their flash on site, I got a prize all because you actually put the non flash version of the game on here THANK YOU again!!
If you are all trying to use the flash version DON’T it neve works, and I play a lot of flash games so I know it don’t work, use the link at this page for the non flash version that actually works, don’t bother trying to contact 02!!!!
August 9th, 2009 at 23:38
what a scam. The code is a pre-determined winner. Try opening the same page in multiple tabs and enter the code various times without collecting the prize.
Hook all ducks in the pond and its the same prize.
September 6th, 2009 at 15:39
I have 14 codes that i cannot enter, i have tried and tried. After many calls and several emails to o2 (which used up hours of MY time) they finally sent me an email saying i could enter my codes and everything would work. I copied down all my codes (more time wasted) and entered them as instructed. I got message saying i had won free txts, free calls etc and thought GREAT! At last i get satisfaction. Guess what? Nothing came through to my mobile! AAAAARRRGGGHH!! More phone calls and emails and promises of rewards….STILL waiting. Frustrating waste of time…A total con, It appears a small percentage of people are getting their rewards and the rest of us definately are not! Angry, fed up and feeling conned.
September 6th, 2009 at 15:44
I have (in the past) used the rewards system and received my rewards but have been unable to do so for the last four months. I know i’m doing everything right, i have had enough now. £150 POUNDS ON O2 TOP UPS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS AN THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED?

Just played and won £150pp off a holiday with concierge travel and thought it was brill! However, after looking on the concierge website it turns out the holidays are in their thousands, how are me and my friends supposed to afford that?!?!
March 13th, 2010 at 14:49
why does it say you can win bigger prize on the o2 surprises yet you only ever win free text or internet browseing or picture messageing so i beleive this is a fake site.
March 23rd, 2010 at 12:45
O2 suck. The whole thing is a load of shite. I’ve had over twenty gold surprises and never won a damn thing worth having, even on multiple tries (you get 3). O2 know I’ve already got free texts and O2 calls so that’s all they ever give me – No Surprises there then.
April 20th, 2010 at 12:38
very dissapointed already have o2 text free rip off j hulbert
June 5th, 2010 at 21:03

Lol. This worked everytime for me. Last month I earned myself an ipod touch
And I was using the flash game.
September 17th, 2010 at 00:06
Load of rubbish. I always get surprises that I already have. Complete and utter waste of time.
October 7th, 2010 at 10:20
there seem to be alot of people complaining about something that your getting for free…..and as for the plank saying join orange…where i live they are the worst….idiot…look folks you may get some texts to use in 48 hours or even some minutes….remember the key word here, IT’S FREE….stop complaining…you want an ipod nano go buy one like every other tom dick and harry have to…wow some people need a smack up the head….
October 7th, 2010 at 10:53
Yes, I know it’s FREE but why all the advertising and hype when all you get is something you have already received through topping up i.e. free text messages!!!!! I wonder who thought that one up:-p
December 14th, 2010 at 21:45
What a load of RUBBISH…….. a music download = crap,
a spa day = crap, and a £5 off jjb voucher when i spend £35 or more!! like i want any of that…. SORT IT OUT O2, atleast give us something we may actually want instead of some useless voucher that we will never use. even a kick in the nuts would be better than that!! even 10 free messages or 15 mins free credit would be better than a voucher… take it on board or u will lose customers!!!
January 13th, 2011 at 08:03
