Need a Blyk invite
Can anyone hook me up with a Blyk invite - need to get hold of one so I can get a Blyk SIm and review the service.
Anyone with a spare that can send it my way will win my eternal thanks and a namecheck on IT PRO.

Ok, so I don’t have a Blyk invite either.. I’m desperately searching for one as well. Can I be completely cheeky and request that if you get an extra invite you pass it on to me?? Eternal thanks will of course be included…

Chris, text “VICE” to 82595 for a blyk invite.

At the risk of being labelled a “joiner of the bandwagon” I really need a Blyk invite too. I have searched endlessly on the internet trying to find people who are on Blyk and can’t. The “invite finder” on the website isn’t working.
So if you find anyone who is on Blyk, could you please get me an invite? Again with the eternal thanks
