message from O2 - genuine?

[3umbrellas]

I've just received this text:

To thank you for your loyalty, we'd like to give you 100 free texts per month for 3 months. Just reply OFFER within 3 days to get your free gift. From O2.

The sender appears as 50202. Does anyone know if this is genuine or is it going to get me on some scamalot texting list?

O2 do send these messages. I got free texts lately too. Can't remember who I was to reply to though.

Why don't they just give you the free texts? - why do you have to reply?

Thanks all. In that case I'll give it a go. Just hope it doesn't also get me on some sort of text spam list.
