Just like me, I would imagine you couldn’t have failed to notice the new O2 adverts on the telly, that I can only describe as a duck race of epic proportions. And if you’re like my mate Keith, whose comment on the advert was “what the hell was that all about?”, then I reckon I’d best break down what O2 Surprises actually are…
In short, if you’re registered with ‘Surprises’, then whenever you top your O2 pay as you go phone up, you get either a prize or a gift.
Simples!
So, what do you have to do to win? Well, it’s dead easy, when you top up your O2 PAYG phone by over £10, you’ll get a promo code, to enter on O2’s site. You do that, and then you pick a duck, and that duck gives you your prize or your gift, whichever you get. Oh, and if you top up by over £15, you can play the gold game (the silver game is for £10-15), where you get to pick two ducks out, and where you can get even better prizes.
Ah yes, the prizes. There are some proper nice ones up for grabs… In the silver game, the top prizes are things like a Sony PSP, or GHD hair straighteners. When you play the gold game, though, you get the good stuff, with things like a 20″ flat-screen Sony TV, an iPod Touch, a Wii, or even a brand new Nokia 7100, completely free gratis.
Hmm, I’d be more tempted by a Nokia 5800, but hey, a 7100’s a rather nice phone, too.
So, basically, if you’re one of the loads and loads of people who use O2 pay as you go phones, you ain’t got nothing to lose, since the way you play is by, basically, just topping up as you would be doing anyway.
Hmmm, I wonder if I’ve got an O2 PAYG sim knocking about anywhere…
Have you won big on O2 Surprises? Leave us a comment and share your stories!

well well well i would like to say 1 i had an o2 fone for over 3 years on pay and go i thought it was a good net work at first with all this free stuff etc etc but if u work it out they can give u a bigger suprise if they reallly wanted and if u look at vodafone and orange free calls and text its really the same if not i would say vodafone is better and orange you should b able to top 5 pnd like them do come on o2 wake up
yes i do no u have a decent net work but if you want to be the best and beat vodafone time to make some sicrafices and raise above them
