Give this man a medal – he managed to get free pizza for a year out of a mobile phone company.
We can’t even get through to our mobile provider whenever we try to contact them – never mind blag a 12-month supply of delicious Dominoes pizza.
But 24-year-old Dan May pulled off this remarkable feat.
How the hell did he do it? Easy – he played Three and 02 off against each other on Twitter. And here’s how it went down…
Time for a slice of life. We're delivering #O2Priority 🍕🍕🍕. Leeds and London, tweet your location with #waggytails. pic.twitter.com/H5EgELf44B

O2 sent out this tweet, and Dan fancied a slice of the action (sorry), but had no joy…
He tried again later, but this time he wasn’t going to be denied some free food…so he pulled the old ‘threatening to join another network’ line…
It proved an absolute masterstroke as Three joined the party…
@dpmay @O2 we’ll #makeitright Dan. Pizza & Ice-cream on the way 🙂

@ThreeUK would be a quite incredible hijack of @O2 ‘s campaign if you did. I’m getting cutlery ready as we speak.

Slick move, but O2 weren’t about to let Three poop their pizza promotion party…so they upped the ante, big time…
@dpmay We’d like to make your tail wag, how about free pizza for the rest of the year? Drop us a DM ? #waggytails pic.twitter.com/PHjD3h1L2y

Dan already had free pizza and ice cream in the bag, but he turned up the heat on O2 with this classic move…
.@O2 I hope this isn’t a cruel Monday joke, especially as @ThreeUK delivered big time! #waggytails #makeitright pic.twitter.com/mE90KbuzT5

The Twitter legend sealed the deal and got himself hundreds of pounds worth of free pizza for the year. Well played, sir. Well played…
@dpmay No joke, check your DM! Free pizza for the rest of the year ? #waggytails
