How to Get O2 Unlimited Texts

1. Decide whether you want to pay monthly or pay as you go. O2 has packages that include unlimited texts for monthly and prepaid contracts. Many of the pay-monthly packages require a 12-month commitment, whereas the Pay & Go option has no minimum contract length, you can just add more credit to your phone whenever you need it.
2. Choose from the available Pay & Go packages if you decide to set up your account that way. The steps below outline them.
3. Select the O2 Simplicity package. This includes unlimited text messages and your choice of zero or 300 minutes per month.
4. Select the O2 Unlimited package. If your friends are O2 customers, the O2 Unlimited package may be for you. It gives you unlimited text messages to other O2 phones for every $16 of credit you buy for the phone, and unlimited calls and texts to O2 phones for every $24 of credit you buy for the phone.
5. Select the Text & Web package. If you want some Web browsing capability included in your package, the Text and Web deal may be a good option for you. It gives you unlimited free U.K. texts and 500 megabytes (MB) of Web browsing for every $48 of credit you buy for the phone.
6. Select the Text & Web BlackBerry package. This is suitable only if you own a BlackBerry phone. The package includes unlimited free U.K. texts and BlackBerry email, plus 500 MB of web browsing for every $48 of credit you buy for the phone.
7. Choose a pay-monthly package. If you have decided that you want a pay monthly package, you need to decide which one you will choose from the packages that include unlimited text messages.
8. Choose your minutes and the length of contract. You can narrow down your search for the right unlimited text message package by deciding how many included minutes you need for phone calls and how long the contract should be. You can choose anything between 300 minutes to an unlimited number of free minutes per month, the cost increasing incrementally per month. You can choose to take on contracts that vary in length between 12 months and 24 months; the longer contracts make the monthly cost cheaper, and all contracts include a free cell phone handset within the price. If you already have a cell phone handset, you can choose to get a SIM card only, which makes the monthly cost cheaper.
9. Buy the O2 package of your choice. This can be done online by visiting the O2 Shop or in person by visiting an O2 store.

How to Find out Who Owns a Phone Number

1. Look up the phone number on the most popular search-engine sites, such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. Be sure to include the area code. If this does not yield anything, move on to Step 2.
2. Visit any popular reverse-phone number search site (like the one in Resources). Some are free, while others impose a fee for use. The free variety will give you some information, but probably not everything you want.
3. Call your local directory-information line to see if they will give you information on a phone number. Let them know the owner of the number has been calling and you want to find out who he is. Give them the phone number and see if they will release any information.
4. Find a public phone and call the mysterious number. This way, you can hear who is on the other end of the phone. If you get sent to voice mail, listen carefully to the message to see if you recognize the voice.
5. Block your own phone number before making any investigatory calls. You usually dial * and a series of numbers before dialing the phone number you want to reach without identifying yourself. (Confirm the exact procedure with your phone provider.) You can also ask someone else to talk on the phone and ask who is on the other end, or simply state that you have the wrong phone number to see who it is. Be careful when calling, as you may unwittingly reveal your identity.
