O2 payg free weekly text/call roaming change?

Last summer (2006) I was getting free text and call weekly with O2
payg online. Last December in Germany I sent one text and was charged
49p. I cannot find the free text and call offer on the O2 website
anymore. Has this service been cancelled?

As far as I am aware of the free Text messages are only if you are in
the UK, In Germany it can happen that you not only room to O2 in
Germany, they have a rooming areement with T-Mobile (I think its
simmilar with 3 and Orange/O2 here)

Yep, looks like the promotion has ended.

Details on the promotion (I think) you're talking about:
http://o2roaming.co.uk/payandgo/page4.html

According to the terms, it ran from 1/7/06 to 30/9/06:

On a side note, O2's Pay and Go 'My Europe Extra' deal looks great...
£10 in order to receive calls free across most of Europe for one
month, calls to any mobile/landline in the included countries (or to
the UK) for 25p/min, text to any country worldwide for 25p.
http://www.o2.co.uk/international/tr.../myeuropeextra

(The included countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Faeroe Islands, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Isle of Man,
Jersey, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Romania,
Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden and Switzerland.)

Also, it applies regardless of which network in those countries you
connect to.

Is there a way to activate euro bolt on or my europe from outside UK?
my attempts to call or txt are getting a message that my carrier has
not authorized calls to that number or the text just aborts. Can it
be activated online or with a landline phone call?

As far as I am aware of you should be able to activate these BoldOns
over the internet, just register your number @ the O2 website and there
schould be an option with bold ons
