Does it recognise texting ALL PACKS or ADD MINS to 150? If it doesn't I reckon it can't do phone packs & add-ons & is committed to being a MBB data SIM for ever.

[j4536]

for ALL PACKS i get a list of packs including the TEXT01 pack giving 10MB of data, 100 mins and 200 texts and others ranging upto PACK30 for 60GB data, UNL mins and UNL texts.

i have tried sending TEXT01 but that doesnt work and i get - another message starting with just so you know we have a new range of packs available...then...at the end of that message it says - If you wld still like to move to TALK01 please reply YES

I reply YES and get another message starting with - If you change to the £1 pack, £1 will come out of your credit and your new allowances will start immediately, However, any remaining add-on allowances will be lost. To confirm reply YES

I send YES

and then i get -

Sorry, there is an issue at the moment and your pack cannot be added, please try again later

...and ive tried the above multiply times all in the space of 2 days and with the exact same above message.

for ADD MINS i get this -

For £3 add 100mins that last upto 7 days, just reply 100MB WEEK. For £5 add 100 mins that lasts up to 30 days, just reply 100 MINS.

I tried sending 100MB WEEK

and i get -

Just so you know you're currently on one of our older packs that are not available to buy anymore, Our new range of packs offer better value for money on data, calls and Texts. Please choose one of the below

For the £1 Talk PAck, giving you 10MB of data, 100 mins and 200 texts, reply TALK01 ...and at the end or a £30 Pack, giving you 60GB data, UNL mins and UNL texts, reply PACCK30.

and then i sent TALK01

and then i get -

If you change to the £1 pack, £1 will come out of your credit and your new allowances will start immediately, However, any remaining add-on allowances will be lost. To confirm reply YES

I reply YES and get another message starting with -

If you change to the £1 pack, £1 will come out of your credit and your new allowances will start immediately, However, any remaining add-on allowances will be lost. To confirm reply YES

I send YES

and then i get -

Well, it doesn't seem to be a MBB data SIM but it's just not working.

[j4536]

Yeah even thought MyEE recognises the number as a "4gee wifi number" 😞

[j4536]

i search some more and was finally directed to start hotspot on the phone and connecting to it - in my case my laptop and browsing to -

http://add-on.ee.co.uk/purchase

and was presented with many ££ options to 'top-up' or 'buy' and to test i chose -

200MB | 30 Days
£2.00
200MB of data which will expire after 1 month. It can be used in the UK & EU with 4G speeds of up to 60 Mbps.

and that worked and reduced my current topup balance by £2 and gave me -

- 200MB
- 100 text

but no minutes 😞

Good find! I take it back. Now it seems it's definitely a PAYG MBB data SIM & can't support phone PAYG packs & add-ons. I guess the text service just replied blindly w/out checking what type of SIM is asking.

[j4536]

yeah, but no mins though 😓

[XRaySpeX]

No, no mins (or texts) add-ons for data SIMs. You just pay for them on a per-unit basis.
