After 2 months

After 2 months

Been using fine for 2 months, built up £10 and had that ready to go, but now this has come back to bite me. My mobile has been blocked and I am now being threatened with disconnection by O2.

I am not on PAYG sim, this is a contract. Be careful, o2 Are enforcing their Fair usage policy now.

Flagged as spam by O2

Easy to use and payments are made as specified - can't fault the app in that sense.

O2 appear to have black-marked them though as they barred my phone after 6 weeks of using the app. Check o2 Community threads for reference.

I had to delete the app and confirm it on a recorded call to have the bar removed from my phone.

All in all, not worth the hassle for the payout.

The service does

The service does, in theory, work and I did get £20 within a couple of months.

However I got a text from O2 threatening to bar my number and terminate my account because sending automated SMS messages is against their fair use policy.

Stay away!

After coming across their as on…

After coming across their as on Facebook, sounded too good to be true but thought try it, what have I got to lose?

2 months down the line, managed to build up £20+ BUT O2 have now barred my number and are now threatening to bill me for termination.

In hindsight, should have followed my instincts and stayed away from Facebook ads.

Please be aware. 1 month in, you've got a tenner plus, second month in, £20 plus but then..........!

Hi Martin

Apologies for this. It appears to be affecting a very small number of PAYG customers, due to a glitch going above the limits for June.

If you contact O2 they will turn you back on.

I can see your name from your review, but can you email me at info@mofono.co.uk so I can arrange to deposit £25 Into your mofono account as way of an apology. But I do suggest setting the slider to zero for the time being.

Again apologies

o2 blocked me!

The app works as expected, but beware 02 contacted me today after around a month of using to Block my number due to the large amount of texts being sent. they have lifted this after explaining I have removed the app though, different providers may not have this issue. Mofono hasn't don't anything wrong but like me I'm sure you haven't going through the t&c's of your phone contract and you might get stung

Was dubious at first

Was dubious at first, but decided to give a months trial. in a month i had gained £10 and cashed it in at the post office! 6 weeks in and my phone service provider has kicked me off the network. Lost a months payment! Don't use avoid like the plaque.

No hassle

Once app has been downloaded, there is not much to do. Just collect your money when you want.
The only thing is you do get text messages with random numbers and letters which I delete but they haven't caused me any hassle.

Complete scam!! Avoid like the plague!!

Worked well for a while, cashed out £15 fine.
Tried to cash out another £10 on the 22nd July, recieved text saying I would receive the code within 2 business days.
It is now the 31st July and still nothing!
Emailed customer service twice and no response at all.
Never received any referral credit either.
Also decreased the amount of texts you can send / amount of money you can earn without any notification.
Have no uninstalled especially after reading other people's recent reviews about their network barring them!!

Would not recommend EVER!!

This is a good app

This is a good app. I have just cashed out my first £20. I don’t like having to delete the constant sent messages but other than that, I can’t fault it.

Locks out on 2nd payment

Worked for the first month. Then when I came to collect my second payment my account got locked. I've emailed their support 5 times but zero response.
