===What is Blyk?=== Blyk is a new mobile network limited to '''16-24 year olds'''. In return for receiving targeted adverts based on interests that you select in your profile you are given '''217 texts and 43 minutes''' free each month. It's a pay as you go network meaning that you can top up with credit to spend on calls and texts but unless you need to make more calls or send more texts than the monthly allowance you don't have to pay a penny. ...

Review of Blyk

I found out about BLYK by word of mouth. I don't use my mobile that much, i send about 4 texts and maybe call a couple of people and check my e-mails everyday and it suits me perfect. At first BLYK gave you 217 txts and 42 minutes, this was ok, but it had a major flaw as i found out you couldn't ring 0800 or such numbers or access the internet. This was found out whilst broken down on the motorway and not able to call my breakdown cover! Recently ...
...Another bonus with BLYK is you can top up like any other phone, with a minimum of £5, you have to register your card online for this or top-up at a paypoint shop. When you top up, for example £10, when your next free top up comes in it adds an extra £10 that you topped up before ! It's brilliant. So a £15 free credit + £10 top up = £25 credit, then the next month you free refil is £25 ! Coverage is great, I've had no trouble wherever i am, in the ...

Review of Blyk

...the bottom of each text blyk advertises themselves which can become very annoying. Although it is possible to remove this by placing a £ sign in front of the message, doing this will mean that you have to pay for the message if you have any credit. The adverts recieved vary from mcdonalds to colgate and are not really noticeable, these can be paused for a maximum of 49 days a year, the intensity of the adverts varies as-well with up to four adverts ...
...In conclusion, i think this mobile network is good if you are on a budget, and dont mind getiing adverts, but if you dislike adverts and sending your friends messages with "join blyk the mobile network for 16 - 24 year olds" then this isnt the network for you. ...

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 every ...

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. ...
