Hi there,

 

I hve a new SIM pay as you go which I have tried to top up with my debit card. I got the following message:

 

"The payment was unsuccessful. Possibly, the amount is reserved. This reservation will be canceled automatically after 1 hour."

 

It's been 3 hours now. My SIM hasn't been toped up but my card has been debited. What should I do?

 

Thanks,

HS3

We always advise the first top up be done with a voucher as there are often problems with first card top ups.
