Asda Mobile - argh, the forgot to send out a topup card with the sim

Order a sim pack from Asda yesterday, arrived this morning, so far so good.

Open it up and there's a sim card but no topup card and the nearest Asda is 20 miles away.

Numpties!

    I have not found any shop other than ASDA who can topup with these cards, though. Tesco does not and neither do the local cash machines in my area. I would hate to travel every time I wanted to make a topup :(
  • It seems they dont supply a top up card with the sim packs. I got mine this time last year & no top up card was present. Readilly available from an asda store though

    Regarding topping up......i live in a rural area (way out in the sticks) but i can top up at my village post office, Well, at least for the time being auntill it gets closed.:rolleyes:

    If you register a Debit or Credit card with them you can do it on the phone.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
  • Call them on 2732 from your mobile and ask for one :)

    Nice idea but as the sim's for my teenage daughter I don't want to go down that route.

    My ex-wife goes to Asda now and then so she's going to get a topup card, so the problem will be solved, soonish.

    I thought you can top up at any shops where you see the top up logo!! I must be wrong. I am thinking of getting an asda sim but would like to be able to top up at Tesco or Boots.

    If you get a top up card, you can top up at any of the 85,000 + shops that display the green top up logo.

    Quite strange then - Tesco do E-topups but not for Asda Mobile. I shall try again next week and see if perhaps my failure to do so was due to it being a relatively new MVNO.
