@Rayyan3 : You get 8GB data with your pack. Have you run out of that? If so, you'll get it back when your pack auto renews or if you buy a new pack now & then force it to start by texting NOW to 150.

@Rayyan3 : Are you in UK?

When is your pack due to renew?

What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Should be more or less immediate but please answer my earlier Q.

Have you just bought this SIM or you've had this pack renewed before.

Then just answer my previous Q if you want help.

Hi @Rayyan3.

Thanks for coming to the community.

If your credit is showing, try adding the pack again by texting ALL PACKS to 150 or by selecting it in the EE app.

If you’ve already bought the pack and it’s still not working, try restarting your phone and turning mobile data off and on again.

If you're still experiencing issues after trying this, please get in touch with our customer support team. They will be able to check your account and make sure the pack has been activated properly.

Debbie
