I've e-mailed you and PM'd you in case I got your e-mail address wrong. This is my first one so I wanted to be sure I did it right. Let me know if you use it.

P.S. Hope I didn't break any forum rules but it seems to make more sense to PM instead of give out any personal e-mail addresses. Perhaps the forum referral code rules/process should be amended.

Your code has been accepted and you should receive your credit. Thanks again

Why did you create two threads? And I sent you a referral code before. The least you could do is tell me you didn't use it.

Sorry anas - I did not mean to step on your toes and did not know that you had already offered Brian In Ottawa a code in a different thread.

Brian - now I see your previous post a little further down - I appreciate the referral request but in fairness to others hopefully it is for another phone because now I sort of come off as the "bad guy".

Honestly, I've only been on this forum for a couple of weeks but I've learned that once I see a request has a reply, I assume it's already too late and just automatically pass over it without looking at it.

Guys, I see that Brian in Ottawa has at least more than 2 referral code requests. As far as i know for each new activation it is allowed to redeem a referral code only once. Am I right? How come that some people do several requests?

Maybe they have more than one phone - like one for their wife and one for each kid?

Actually I think Brian In Ottawa has stumbled upon a loophole in Speak Out's referral system - I don't think it keeps track of incoming referral codes. It does seem to keep track of outgoing codes. This is a big advantage if you are within your 15 days of activation and receive additional codes.

I don't think I am breaking any forum rules because they only limit the outgoing referral codes, but I am right on the cusp of my 15 day activation limit so I will request a new one and see if they will apply it to my account and report back. Hopefully I won't get the same customer service rep as when I redeemed my first one!

Kudos to Brian In Ottawa if this is the loophole exists.

Don't be slagging Brian In Ottawa - I can confirm if you read my other posts here that you can't use more than one referral request per phone activation. You'd think Speak Out would allow you to use it anytime then rather than limiting it to only the first 15 days after activation!
