Advantages: Great coverage. free credit for txts, calls and internet. Disadvantages: If you call 1 advert text a day that can be deleted, then i guess it is a disatvantage lol

For example you may be asked your opinion on a particular band or you may be sent a voucher for a free bottle of lucozade.
On average adverts are sent to the simcard ...

Quick review of Blyk Review ofBlykby

Don't waste your time on this I've been struggling with it for six months. It doesn't work and they fob you off with excuses, because you're under 25 it must be your fault.
