Anyone have any decent ideas on how a friend can run down his credit on his XT mobile without being wasteful? He isn't intending to park for a long time in a car park, or buy coke. Any other ideas on how you can use remaining prepaid XT credit?

Do any charities receive more than $3 per TXT for donations? What TXT charities exist?

Shameless Plug:
Not sure if this number is still current, but a $20 to Surf Lifesaving can be made by calling 0900 54 334.

"daffday" to 2448 for the Cancer Society. Smile

I owe a lot to these guys and I can verify that the donations they receive truly go to good causes.

They want to port earlier than they'd use up the credit. It would be a waste to call just for the sake of it.

Can you call 0900s from XT prepaid??

Don't think so, no. Most phone companies now bar 0900 numbers by default.




I finally have fibre!  Had to leave the country to get it though.

Can you buy coke??

That's pretty cool... i'd just buy a few bottles and be happy.

I'm actually interested in the same thing. How can you buy Coke with prepaid credit? It wouldn't be my first choice, but better than nothing.

I might be mistaken but I thought we had coke machines that accepted txt payment (possibly with surcharge)?
