Solved: PAYG Sim in Vehicle tracker, balance ?

AliRay · ‎01-07-2018

Hi, I've got an O2 sim in a tracker, how do I find out my balance ? It's the only O2 service I use, so getting the balance by phone isn't possible and the O2 website isn't any help (even when logged in)

In my defence, I was left unsupervised.

You will have to find some way of receiving the verification text to register.
Any unlocked phone will do to receive it.
It has to be done by text to prove ownership of the sim card.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

You'll need to register the sim for a MyO2 account.

I've registered with O2 and tried to add this sim to my account, but because its not in a phone, it can't send me a verification code. As this is my only O2 product, I can't use the O2 app either.

Hi, found an old Galaxy S3, I'd forgotten about, so I've had unlocked. Should be able to regster the sim now. Maybe O2 need to look into alternative ways of registering a sim, I'm not the only person who is using one in a tracker.

Thanks for all the replies.
