I have a 4GEE wifi device. I'm trying to top up but it says i need to add it to my account. When I enter the mobile number it says it has sent a code to the device. How the heck do I access that message? Please hlep!

Thank you for your reply, which helps a little. I've gone to the web page with the IP address I found in another reply. It recognises my device but keeps saying the password is wrong. It is the one I got with the device and the same password I am using on this device I am mesaging from. Any ideas why it keeps saying it is wrong?

I guess you're using the WiFi pwd as you always use it on the device you are using to post here but you need the admin pwd.

Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin" or with the admin password found under the battery cover.
