    i have an online account but as far as i can see there is no check minutes/texts function - only the 44555 text with voda apparently.
    Sure there is, the 'unbilled usage' tab. It tells you how many minutes you've used and how many you have remaining.

    You can hardly claim not to have the funds to pay, if your other thread is anything to go by!!!

    Hi folks, bit of an odd weekend just gone....

    Over the course of the weekend, my girlfriend and I found 70 pounds between us in various places.
    Naturally this must be an act of god, and we cant decide what to spend it on at the moment. However, we have decided to make it up to 100 pounds and put it away for the time being...in an ISA account.

    Does anyone want suggest a good way to spend it if not? :money:

    many thanks!
    pete

    World's stupidest question : Why are you expecting Vodafone to take the flak for YOU not using 44555 to check your minutes you had left? Or were you expecting them to turn around and tell you that they'll take all the charges off? Nope nope, the 70 you found will now be going to that bill (and just for future use, if you text 44555 what do you write in it?)
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    I was always told to ask questions with disregard for how silly they may seem. All I was doing here was following what I thought were those simple, wise rules.
    I appear to have lost my dignity, I'll shut up next time.

    thanks anyway,
    Pete

    is this a joke?

    bank charges are a bit different to "sorry i went over my limit on my bill" :huh::huh:

    Much as the OP has been a bit of a tool and what not, some people are so harsh on here!! I thought this was meant to be an online community?
