My wife has twice tried to purchase a text pack by texting 5TEXT to 2345. Twice it has failed and she has had to call a non-free customer service centre to get it applied.

They say they have no idea why the text pack fails.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

PS this is the service she uses: http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatch/Portal/appmanager/vodafone/wrp?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=template10&pageID=PPP_0011

    I believe text packs have been discontinued with Vodafone and replaced with Freedom Packs which are better and you get much more for your money.

    If you spend £10 you get 100 minutes and 300 texts, spend £15 you get 200 minutes and 600 texts, spend £20 and you get 300 minutes with 3000 texts. These packs are valid for 30 days.
  • If you wife tries what Ann S has suggested in adding a freedom pack and it works you'll know its a problem with trying to get the text pack and not your account being incompatible with Vodafone services as a whole.

    Looking at the Vodafone website I can't see any evidence of texts packs still being available, like Ann said its all about the Freedom Packs
