My second SIM has no online account. I used the top up card that came with it to put the £10 on. It really was 1/ send STOP PACK to 150 2/ reply YES 3/ top up £10 with the topup card 4/ send 100GB to 150 5/ remove SIM as soon as the confirmation came back
That SIM is now waiting unused. I'm hoping the 100GB months haven't even started, but it is a bit of a punt. I can't check it without risking starting the data & I can't rely on it - but at the start of August I'll pop it in and see what happens, and with luck I'll have 100GB to use in September for free.”
Your second sim sounds like a gamble - if it pays off then great you got yourself another 2 * 100Gb
I've been using my sim in an Osprey all morning. Its just normal browsing really on the work laptop and nothing too taxing and using it in place of home broadband for the moment. It's great being able to use high speed data as I can't even get Fibre at home
In a month or so I'll be handing the sim over to someone for a couple of weeks and they can use it for skype/whatsapp/viber calls for a few weeks which works out a lot cheaper than other options
Couple of questions:
I can see on my online account that it shows an 'error' when trying to retrieve balance and pack information - but texting 150 to BA shows a credit of £10.01 so touch wood all seems to be OK there.
In the 'Data Left' bit on the page, it says 99.3 Gb ... Not that it matters too much, but I thought the first 1Gb was used first + the 250Mb 'free' activation credit? I havent used it at all apart from browsing so I can't imagine having used over 1Gb already in the space of 2-3 hours.
Anyone else get this? I dont want to start calling customer services up in case they activate a pack by default and my credit starts going LOL
