As I have an account with them and it's good to know any new news about them. But I have noticed that I myself have had the same messages on the same days as Ricky about the K850 (which I have anyway), the L'Oreal and quick flirt, and so on... If I remember right didn't we all select Catorogies of interest that we wanted to receive?!! First I have to say I do like the idea of BLYK WATCH.

I am keen to learn more and pleased that Ewan has taken this approach. I did smile when i read that Ricky was woken up at 12noon by a text, the life of a student eh? The 5am top up message is not such a laughing matter though.I am sure a lot of people would find this intrusive and it could cause a potential backlash. . It will be interesting to see how this relationship between Ricky and Blyk plays out. It also got me thinking how does this compare with an average Joe and his relationship with an Operator? Personally i am with Orange and whilst i don't get many freebies i do find them pretty good. Well done to Ricky for giving us the insight into the Blyk experience.
