Well to kick this off:

 

I have 4 Prepaid phones with 2DM.

 

Only one does not use or need any data.

 

Guess which one won 1GB of free data today?

 

A prize which is not really a prize in this case, it's actually a "Mobile Deskphone" as part of my Emergency Kit.

 

It has already got 720 carryover minutes / 250 Txt's per month...does not use any data.

 

The other 3 phones do, but already have more than enough data currently.

 

I'm NOT annoyed, but see the irony!

Well I feel special, as no-one else here appears to have won anything so far. 

 

(No matter how useful or useless to them)

I got a free Gb of data on my mobile/data plan last week!

 

Had my fingers crossed for the TV package, but hey - better than a poke in the eye with a stick...

Not sure if this counts as winning anything, but it feels like it. They have upped my monthly plan from 3 gig to 4 gig data and I now have unlimited texts and calling.

Cynical hat on: (Oh hang on - it's ALWAYS on!)

 

You must need minutes / txts / data!

I have 134GB of carryover data (left myself on the higher plan wayyy longer than I intended to stay on there for), they gave me 1GB of data. Free's always nice I guess haha.

Not a thing. I even upgraded my plan.

 

I'd appreciate a new TV though. And wife could do with new phone. 

 

But will take whatever I can ;)

Well, got 1GB data on 3 of my 4 phones.

 

Has no-one won anything except 1GB data?

Oh, does the anniversary thing apply to Warehouse Mobile (which is/or uses 2D?  They just gave me an extra GB even though I only ever buy 500 mb/month, but no mention of any anniversary.
