Solved: Unable to add credit to new SIM

MarkKH · ‎09-03-2021

Ordered a new PAYG SIM. Tried more than 6 times with different payment cards to add credit but fails every time. Attempted on website and app. Not a good experience for a new customer

You need to use a voucher for the first top up.

@MI5 Thanks for the quick response and advice.
Shame it doesn't highlight this on the website or app.
I haven't used PAYG before so am new to the process
