Hi. I have a paygo sim for data use at our caravan. We are looking into having the guests buy extra data, as they are going through like mad! Can it be topped up by a different phone number or am I the only one that can top up please?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

A top-up just adds money to your PAYG credit. You may use that for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates or buy a pack or data add-on with it.

Yes, @Pinx22 , by using Fast Top Up online with a UK bank card. They don't need to login or register anything. All they need is the mobile no. of your PAYG SIM & it doesn't remember their card details.

Hi again sorry forgot to check, when the top up has been made, will it covert to data package as in my normal top up from my account log in or will it just go onto minutes and texts?
