At first I thought this was a great idea - free phone £20 per month 600 free messages - sounds great doesn't it? That is until things started to go wrong...... First it was my phone, it started buzzing and then turning off I phoned them to tell them about this and they bluntly informed me that it was nothing to do with them and I would ...  Read the complete review

Boasting 300 free wap minutes and 300 free sms, Genie (now 02) seemed the obvious choice for me. They offered these deals on a pre-pay tariff and offered me a good price on an up to date phone and delivered within a week....so I suppose your wondering is this a good review about Genie? Let me assure you Genie are not my favourite people. ...  Read the complete review

I have been a satisfied genie pay and go customer for about a year. That is until the recent transformation into O2. Genie was fantastic. Why did they feel the need to change it? As the saying goes: “If it isn’t broke why fix it!” When I first heard about Genie and their tempting offer of 300 free messages a ...  Read the complete review

I joined Genie just before the whole O2 thing started, got myself the 600 free txts and 50 off peak minutes a day deal. This offer is not available anymore on the new O2 website. They are only offering contracts which can call ANY NETWORK, mine is not this type. When I tried to move my phone number over from Vodafone to Genie (O2) I faced ...  Read the complete review

I have been with 121 (T-Mobile) for about 4 years now and since Christmas I have been quite upset with how they have started to run there company. I used 121 mainly because it was cheap to use e.g. free voicemail, good coverage (in my area), 5p txts to 121 phones and my bill was really low. Then since T-Mobile took over my bill has gone from £15 ...  Read the complete review

Genie Mobile is the web-based division of mm02, or, to you and me, BT Cellnet.

It also offered free text alerts of email, cheap lcal rate home internet access and mobile 'Alerts' (offering news, horoscopes, ...  Read the complete review

I have only recently joined Genie using their pre-pay 600 free SMS and 100 free minutes tariff, but so far I am well pleased. The per-minute tariff is 10p peak and 2p off-peak which compares well with the 35p peak, 2p weekends (I think evenings are 10p) I had to pay Cellnet. (I will look for a place to put up information on how to access ...  Read the complete review

I don't even know why I'm writing an opinion on Genie, I haven't used the service much. Why? Because I can't! Plain and simple. Here's why. Lured by the siren call of their banner on dooyoo promising 600 free texts a month, cheap calls, free WAP and a free phone, I went in eyes wide open. I ordered a shiny new Sony ...  Read the complete review

I've always been a fan of BT Cellnet, so when I found out that this was the company behind Genie, I thought very seriously about opting for there service. I finaly put my money where my mouth was this christmas, and ordered there £20 contract off peak scheme, this gave me 50 minutes of off peak calls to Genie, BT cellnet and land ...  Read the complete review

After having my last mobile phone stolen, i was reluctant to pay the initial outlay required for a new pay as you go phone. A friend recommended Genie to me and I visited their website which I found to be very informative. On making the decision to enter into a contract with Genie (they do offer a pay as you go option, but this was not ...  Read the complete review

--------------------------- The Basics --------------------------- By now almost everyone must have heard of Genie. Adverts in national newspapers, magazines and TV to mention a few.

Genie was founded in 2000 and it’s the Internet extension of BT and their BT Cellnet mobile service. It markets itself as the UK’s leading Mobile Internet provider and is rapidly becoming a leading competitor in the network provider fight.

Genie started life a couple of years ago as a simple web portal funded by Cellnet. As time went on, its range of services developed until (I believe) earlier this year it started to launch its own cellular services through BT Cellnet. Contract Although a registered user of the portal, my visits were infrequent and the ...  Read the complete review

Genie has revolutionised the Mobile Tariff industry. It beats every other tariff by miles! I was so shocked when I saw it on the Internet that I got it straight away. Before being on Genie I was on BT Cellnet which was very good, it had 2p a minute at weekend and offered a good coverage of the UK, but Genie gave you 1500 texts a month, free ...  Read the complete review

I, like many other people was tempted to join Genie after hearing about their free text message / wap promotion for a £10 a month fee on a years contract. The £10 a month is a sim card only deal but for £20 a month you can get a mobile handset to go with the sim card. I opted for just the sim and bought myself a mobile phone separately ...  Read the complete review
