orange pay as you go top up card problem

Hi I usually top up my phone with a card and it has worked fine until now, I have tried since Friday in different shops and the machine will not accept the card , I had to buy a voucher today but I prefer the card as it is easier to use. Has anyone else experienced problems with a top up card? shrewdal

    Without sounding too harsh go to your local tesco and get a new one (mine do them) and im sure a lot of places that do the top ups usually have the cards for each network.

    Hi Thanks for your advice but I really wanted to avoid all the hastle of registering a new card as this can take some time. shrewdal
  • it sounds as though the card is damaged. i'd assume you need to register a new one.
