Cannot add new card

My card expired and when I try to add a new card to my PAYG account online to renew my pack I get as far as adding the new card details and the screen which displays all the details of the new card with a 'confirm' button ... when I click 'confirm' it just circles back to the page where you add the new card details..

Tried calling 150 but cannot get past the auto system to speak to a real person.

No chat available online to speak to a real person

How do problems get resolved with no option to talk to someone???

Text STOP PACK to 150 & it'll stop buying the pack & stop the auto direct card payment on your old card. When you next buy your pack choose to pay for it by direct card payment on your new card.

Had you texted STOP PACK before all this?

No because I am doing this online.

I have multiple free Boosts on this pack

I do not want to stop the pack.

I simply want to update the card. Online.

Well, I suggest you do! Nowt's changed! You're only repeating what you said in OP but in more detail. You can't expect it to do anything differently when you've changed nowt. You're no further forward.

By stopping your current pack you'll be able to buy the same pack (but using a diff card) to which your Boosts will equally apply.

It's frustrating when the website is offering you options which are broken.

To confirm:

You are telling me to use this workaround:

I should click 'stop pack'

The pack will stop but the Boosts totalling 6GB and 150minutes will still exist independently of any pack.

The same pack does not exist so I would have to then choose the new £10 pack pictured below 8GB / 500minutes (The data included is not the same as the original pack I currently have)

My Boosts will automatically be applied to the new pack giving me a total 14GB and 650minutes.
This is better than my current pack+boosts - but only if the Boosts are transferred to the new pack.

Please confirm

Oh, yes, you could do it online too.

Yes, the current £10 pack is better than your legacy 1.

But either way I will get 14GB and 650 minutes - is that correct?

Yes, you retain your Boosts when you switch pack.
