***As per most recent comments below, this is still going, please can the thread be unexpired***
This is a somewhat known process to many HUKD members but I thought best to post to provide a full rundown so everyone can reap the benefits.
It does seem pretty long, especially for Android users, but I think it's worth it for 50% off any digital purchase on certain Stores.
If you're not too fussed spending an extra pound to save the hassle, following the iPhone method below.
If you want to pay the minimum following the Android method below.
Plus, you can reap the benefits from O2 Priority and O2 Rewards.
Method:
Click Get Deal to go to the O2 SIM order page, fill in your details and tick both boxes at the bottom. It'll usually take up to 3 working days for the SIM to get to you.
Note: Link goes to an order for one International SIM. T&C's state this offer should also work with Big Bundle SIMs too.
Best Method for iPhone users:
Top up your SIM with £11.00, text FREE10 to 21500 and use this to top up your SEN account with the full £20.00. The remaining 90p is yours to do as you wish
Android Users:
Put the SIM in your phone, boot up and call 4444 to top up £10.
Text FREE10 to 21500 and wait for the confirmation that the bonus credit has been applied. Takes up to 2 hours. Phone 4444 again to confirm this before moving on to the next step.
*** If you're using all the credit on Google Play the tutorial ends here, enjoy 50% off all purchases. If not, move on ***
Go to your SEN account online and select Add Funds to Wallet, Mobile Top Up, enter £15 and the O2 phone number. Reply Y to the text message to confirm, this message costs 10p out of your credit.
Youll be left with £4.90.
Go to Google Play and spend at least £4.40, best advised you add whatever you're buying to your Google Play Wishlist to find them again quicker.
Find an app or game, click Buy and then the Google Play Balance, check Other Payment Methods and select O2 Billing. It'll verify and then put you through to the payment window. Make sure where it says payment method it shows as O2 Billing.
You should now have 50p or less in credit. Again, this can be confirmed by calling 4444 or texting Balance to 20202.
You're now eligible to use O2's Lend Us a Quid service.
Call 4444 and select option 6, hit 1 to confirm. This will add £1 credit lent by O2.
Go back to Google Play and refund the apps or games purchased. You'll now have £5.90 credit.
Go back to your SEN Account as before and top up the remaining £5, confirm with a reply to the text and voila.
You've also got the 80p left from all that spare, so you can freely spend this in Google Play or use the credit on texts, calls or data.
Edit 1: Xbox Carrier Billing instructions. Unsure as to whether they will charge as the PlayStation service does.
xbox.com/en-GB/promotions/buy-game-credit
Edit 2: Some purchases from PSN will require the above to be done more than once.
I'll look to edit this as questions or new methods come in.
I feel like I need to add this: P-L-E-A-S-E do not overuse this method. They used to offer 20 quid instead of 10, until too many people abused it by ordering too many in too short a time period. A few a month is grand.

Nope.
You've topped up £10 and got £10 free, then you have to top up your psn account with £10, so you've 'spent' £20 and got 1p spare psn credit.
Yup, can't even spell it
Haha, unfortunately this is the best I can do in terms of a TL;DR version of the above: Order SIM, Top Up PSN.
Posted ages ago.
It's on offer for £29.99 for 12 months of PS Pluson the PlayStation Store. Buy that and as you've only paid half (topped up £10 and got £10 free) its as though you're buying it for £15.
If you top £11 to the sim, this will give you £21 after the bonus, allowing you to topup £20 to your PSN wallet in one transaction, with 90p remaining on the sim for the Play store.
I prefer this method as the company who manages the mobile payments limits the usage to only 3 times a month.
Also, it is best to choose the £25 sim because you end up with £21 credit and the sim will automatically take it for the sim bundle usage.
*Extra bonus*
You can claim £5 cashback via Quidco, which takes a number of months to process.
Ages ago as in >1 month ago?
Just a quick question, though. I ordered a £10 Big Bundles SIM instead and it doesn't have the FREE10 offer on the back; am I still eligible? I've ordered an International SIM anyway but if this will work I may as well use it as well
I wouldnt top up on the Big Bundles SIM until you get a confirmation you'll receive the extra credit. If you get an email confirming this go ahead, otherwise stay away.
Nope.
You've topped up £10 and got £10 free, then you have to top up your psn account with £10, so you've 'spent' £20 and got 1p spare psn credit.
Ah, those were the days. Getting a year of Plus for £13.33 and new releases for £20. Shame they stopped that.
What I do is just order another SIM. You may have to change some details, but it still works
£10 spend on credit for the extra free '£10' from o2
Then another £10 spend to make it up to £30 to get playstation plus at its current offer.
What do you mean when you say the sim will take it for the bundle usage?
Also how do you top up £1
Isn't that £20
Well, you've got the £10.01 left for other purchases
Edit: quote was an accident
when you topup by calling 4444, you can type £11. Although topups in store only allows topups in £5, £10, £15, £20...
The o2 free sims all come with bundles. eg. topup £10 & you'll get X amount of mins, txts & data. If you go for the £25 sim bundle, you'll not actually have enough credit for them to activate the bundle.
hope that makes sense.
hi chunk3rvd, I can confirm that Quidco does do multiple cashbacks a year. Infact, I got 3 confirmed in April 2017 alone

thanks
Not with the International SIM. That allows you to keep the credit after you top up
But now you have done, here's the old thread.
Kudos to the OPs
