I am in a place where I don't have connection to top up or use data or any outbound activity. Meanwhile I have recieved this message that If I don't top up within 20 days my number will get deactivated. Now, I aked a friend of mine to top me up but he bought a pin which I cannot use here. What can I do ?

@Behro : Try using Fast Top Up online with a UK bank card. You don't need to login or register anything. All you need is your mobile no. & it doesn't remember your card details.

Thanks. I did top up my data using my credit. Would that prevent my card from being decativated ?

What do you mean? You top-up your credit with money. You don't top-up data. You buy data. Did you buy a data add-on with your credit?

Yes. I bought a data add-on with my credit. However, I cannot use it.

However that should keep you out of hibernation.
Did you move from contract to PAYG just before or when you went abroad?

Do I still need to make a chargeable activity? Cause I don't expect to be here for another two weeks. And, I haven't moved to PAYG.

Buying an add-on counts as a chargeable activity.
