Vodafone Customers Can Get 2GB Free On Dropbox

Lifehacker AU

We’re a big fan of any technique that gets us more Dropbox space, so here’s one of note for Vodafone (and 3) customers: you can score an extra 2GB of space by texting the word “Dropbox” to 126222 (Vodafone) or 126333 (3) to receive an upgrade code.

I don’t have an active Vodafone account myself, so I haven’t been able to test this (or work it if it only works for contract rather than prepaid customers). If you get it in on the deal, tell us in the comments.

      You can only use one code per dropbox account, but each vodafone user can get 3 codes, so spread the love to your non-dropbox friends with a referral link :)

    Worked for me.. now that I have experienced SplashTop Remote.. I can see all new possibilities of remote access to my files.. since it’s free and this adds 2 more gig.. might as well give it a try..

    It works on Vodafail pre-paid. It also works on Lebara pre-paid, who are a Vodafail reseller.
    The problem is that you are only allowed to use one voucher of this type per Dropbox account.
    Still, great value. Thank you Vodafone.

    So essentially a $2 SIM gives you an extra 2GB of dropbox. Not bad.

    Yep works for me. It’s a shame that if you put a semi-big file in your public folder though it seems to take forever to download. Couldn’t get anything > 100KB/s the other day.

    Shame it is not for prepaid. Anything that gets you backing up more is a good thing.

      Dave Lord above said it does – but I haven’t tried it myself (on a contract)

    Great, thanks! I have 2 voda accounts but could only add onex2g. I’m happy with that as I use it all the time.
