14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone users in the UK who are also customers of wireless carrier O2 would have at their disposal new options when it comes to their Pay & Go handsets, the operator, and Facebook. To be more precise, the carrier has just announced that users would be able to top-up their O2 Pay & Go phone when on the company's Facebook page, without leaving it.
The same as they would on the O2 website, users would be able to easily top-up their phones, courtesy of a Facebook app available on the official O2 UK Facebook page here.
“We’ve been building and talking more and more in Facebook for a long time now - It’s safe to say we’re as obsessed with Facebook as the 30 million+ people of you in the UK who use it are. Half of you use it daily,” the wireless carrier notes.
“And so far nearly a quarter of a million people have joined us on our Facebook page, discussing everything from how many minutes of talk time Andy Carroll’s transfer fee would get you to the latest news on which mobile phones we’re selling. We’ve even discussed dancing squirrels.”
With the new option in place, users would have to possibility to stay connected to people, pages and photos on Facebook without interruptions.
Moreover, users would have the option to purchase products and services from the wireless carrier's Facebook page, so as to enhance the experience even more.
Those O2 customers who would like to try out the new feature should head over to the carrier's official Facebook page and click on the Pay & Go Top-up tab.
“The process is exactly the same as on o2.co.uk - enter the relevant information, enter your credit and debit card details (it will prompt you to switch to secure browsing if you’re not already doing so), before you receive an SMS to confirm the top up,” the carrier explains.
“This is the only place you can top-up with O2 via Facebook. If you’re unsure about whether or not it’s from us, make sure it’s on the O2 Facebook page.”
O2 also notes that they would be looking forward to receiving feedback from their users, and that the experience they offer to them should be enhanced even more.
