How can I enter a text competition on a PAYG account?

You'd enter a text competition on a PAYG account in the same way you'd do on a pay-monthly account, but you obviously need to have sufficient credit for any premium-rate shortcode texts that I'd imagine are required.

Are you having a problem entering a text message competition on PAYG?

How do I add credit to my account without it topping up my phone?
Thanks

Good morning @Carmic28

You can top up your EE pay as you go mobile using any of these methods.

If you want to use the credit instead of adding a pack you can text STOP PACK to 150. This will mean you can pay per minute and text and use the credit for a competition like you mentioned above.

Thanks

Adding credit is topping-up!

Hi there,

I'm not having a problem per say - I'm just not really sure how to do it! Haha

So do I add credit to my account as if I were going to top up?

Try using Fast Top Up online with a UK bank card. You don't need to login or register anything. All you need is your mobile no. & it doesn't remember your card details.
