PAYG number disconnected due to no usage
Just found out one of my numbers (a Pay As You Go on All Calls) has been disconnected due to me not using it - it's one of my old phones that still occasionally gets a text or two.
Anyway, does anyone know what happens next - if I call them, will they now want to charge me to reconnect or will they allow it with a top-up? Typically, was planning to hand the phone to my Dad, as he's yet to embrace them. It did have credit on too - D'oh! If anyone knows what happens in these circumstances, please reply - cheers in advance. |

If you want it re-connected then you will have to pay a connection fee and also all the credit that you had on that phone is now lost.

D'oh! I had kissed goodbye to the credit, but feared a fee for reconnection - any idea how much? Thinks I'll have to call them and let them know I planned to give the phone to someone for Christmas, if I need to pay to reconnect, I might as well use that nice Virgin mobile sim I have around, with it's useful free voicemail..
..do you recon that might persuade them to reconnect me for the cost of a top-up or would that fail. If "yes" to it failing, then Viva La Virgin! |

One 2 one turn of you sim if you've not used it for 180days, you loose any credit you had on it, and they charge you £10 to switch it back on.

Does anyone know with Virgin .... if you have a sim card, receive text's and calls - BUT don't make any outgoing calls, will your sim still remain "alive" or are you meant to make billed outgoing calls?
friend switched from 121/t-mobile to Virgin, registered all the details, ported the number over, uses it - BUT has not received a single bill, when he dials 789 to check on the call cost, it says you have yet to make a chargable call !! - nice cheap phone (at the moment), but he doesnt want to be in a position where he looses the number !! |

He will need to make a call or send a text every so often to keep the sim alive.
