I also received this message today, but I have topped up within the last 179 days, so does anybody know why I have this message? I have been on this pay-as-go plan for years with no probs.

Hello @ascott18

Thanks for confirming @ascott18

In this case, I am not sure as to why you would be receiving these alerts. 

I'd recommend giving us a call so our customer care team can check your account.
