Hi All
Possible for anyone can shed some light on this issue I'm having with my account?
I went online to see if I could upgrade my phone, as my upgrade is due in the next 14 days.
But when I try to see what I can upgrade to, I get this message.
I know that I am the account holder, as it's all under my name etc.
And always has been, but I cannot do anything under my number.
Though my kid's phone is under the same account, I can do what ever I want.
But nothing under my own number.
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Many Thanks

Many threads on this if you had searched. As you have set the account up as a user not the bill payer.
The new layout on your online account makes it a bit trickier to find but log into your Online Account - Plans & Subscriptions - Scroll down to Settings and Permissions then click on Manage Numbers. Change your account to bill payer.
Thanks
