I filled in a form on that site. It did not stress it was for O2 only

It's in the t&c's and limited time offer as well :(

Unfortunately once they check your details they'll send a email back stating o2 customers only

Mine said imei was invalid and to double check. I sent a screenshot of it but not heard back yet. I also emailed customer support asking if the offer will be extended to other networks but not heard off them yet either.

A bit like Tesco's iPads

---

This whole story smells a little like the recent scandal with the Tesco offer to sell the new iPad 3 for £49.99

For those who don't know it, due to a 'computer'(?) error, Tesco advertised the wrong price (a 90% discount), a lot of people ordered - and were told that Tesco will not supply at this price. It is still hotly debated in the (social and mainstream) media.

In this case there isn't a price error - just a poorly designed promotion site where the O2 condition is buried in a separate PDF 'Terms and conditions' document (which, naturally, nobody reads) and is not mentioned anywhere on the actual promotion page. Many people - yours truly included - naively filled the form, only to be told they are not eligible.

Despite the 'Sony' domain, this is not Sony - they have their epic gaffes but cannot be so unprofessional. The UK promotion is outsourced (possibly by O2) to an outfit called 'Mad About Handling Ltd' run by a couple, Annabel and Angus Gilmour. Their 'professionalism' shines in that form and website - and in the subsequent handling of complaints.

Some victims may wish to run a retaliation campaign on Twitter and Facebook - like the Tesco crowd, who are currently causing serious reputation damage to the retailer. I wouldn't bother, though -

Just ignore!

This isnt anything to try and catch people out, on the launch of the Xperia S, stock in O2 stores was supposed to come with 4 SmartTags in the box but Sony weren't able to do so in time for the launch offer, so customers were told to go to that site to redeem the offer. All stock in O2 stores now should come with 4 SmartTags in the box.
