Hi I'm new here, and just purchased a phone. Can I get a referral request? How does it work?

Hey I'll send you one right now with instructions on how to use it.

Check your personal messages for the code.

Sorry. Counted 31 days in September. Honest mistake, and my PM was withdrawn before being read.

Hmm, very odd that someone with one post would say that. I have never tried to offer a code more than once in a 7 day period. As I explained already, this would be the first time which was obviously accidental. It had been 6 and a half days since my last code was used. When I calculated, I counted Sept 31, which would have made over 7 days. A simple mistake, sorry. I challenge you to find evidence that I have EVER redeemed more than 1 code in a seven day stretch.

@Simon174. There is no law against me or anyone else providing a code, whether you have posted or not. Fact of the matter is that I sent my PM before you, then experienced a network problem, and could not post in the thread for several minutes. I Obviously was quicker than you because Joni redeemed my code.

@905Guy Sorry for the misunderstanding, I honestly thought I was at seven days. I'd hoped that Joni would not use my code and had deleted my PM, however it appears that it was delivered anyway and my code was used. I will take 14 off as penalty for being a few hours early.

@everyone else – The administrators have made rules to make this section fair to all and I endorse them fully. 905Guy is doing a bang up job to keep people in check. However, no matter what the rules, people are more apt to use code provided by people who are not strangers, or from somebody that has helped them at some point. This section is usually not the first stop for new users, and the fact that I have helped or given advice to them prior to a request, sometimes leads them to use my code. Bottom line, visit the other parts of the forum, help people out when you can, and you will be more likely to benefit in this section.

Cheers,

A

Are referral codes only good on new activations? Or can I use a referral code when I'm topping up $25?

joni -- you posted another thread advertising that you have a referral code. I have removed that thread. Please review the rules.
