New SIM-card and 0 credit after buying £10 pack

KineCharlotte — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 11:12:51 GMT

Hi. I bought a new SIM-card yesterday and when I registered, I bought the £10 subscription pack with 20 GB, 500 mins etc. I can use data, but it’s not possible to send texts or make calls. It says 0 in credit, but on “allowances” it says that I have used a few MB and still have left 500mins and unlimited messages. What can I do to make it work properly?
Thank you!

Hi @KineCharlotte

Welcome to the community.

Are you in the UK at the moment? Is your phone showing a good signal connection?

Thank you Chris, and thank you for your answer!

I’m in London, and the signal connection shows two bars.

When I try to call, it says that I don’t have enough credit to make the call. In the app it says that I have 0credit, but still 500mins left.

Thank you for helping out!

You're welcome, @KineCharlotte

Have you tried restarting your phone?

OK, thank you for trying, @KineCharlotte. I recommend speaking to our Mobile Care team so they can check your account for you and hopefully get you up and running.

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

Are you trying to call/text a non-UK no.? It's only if you were trying to call outside UK that you would need credit.

Thank you. That’s seems to be the issue. I tried calling another country.

Ah! The pack only includes calls & texts to UK from UK.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.
