@End_raw : How did you buy a pack online?

What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Hi @End_raw 

I know you've mentioned adding a £10 pack, and also the message suggests it was a £15 Pack. I am so sorry for any confusion with this! 

Have you tried to use your phone? If so, what happens exactly? 

If you've topped up successfully and added the Pack you want, please text NOW to 150 and this should start the Pack immediately.

I bought a sim from a store nearby, the cover said £10 pack.  And after reached home and opened there was £15 pack written inside the £10 cover. 

I topped up £10. 
Do i have to buy £15 pack to get started??

Well, your £10 credit was spent on something.

I asked you before, How did you buy a pack online?
