    Dam, I just activated a sim card earlier today :( £20 down the toilet!

    Do a chargeback as suggested by Martin in one of the threads.

    I think I know someone who will be really pleased by this :)

    Good while it lasted sad to see it go will cost me £10 at midnight to buy a GG goody bag and then will have to search for a new deal for my back-up sim in my dual sim phone (I will be getting a new one soon currently on its way from China) best get one of my other sims working in the slot that Ovivio was in.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    Don't lol, I was gonna say similar but not worth the grief of starting that particular engine back up ;)
  • I assume this means that the £15 credit I had will have gone '!!!!!!' with the company too! :mad:

    Yes, you could try becoming a creditor if they have gone into liquidation, but don't fancy chances of getting anything back.

    If it a recent purchase you could try a claim through the credit card company.

    Luckily I only had a £1 or so with them having used most of my £10 credit on international texts and calls when my wife was abroad.

    I brought a Ovivo sim this morning paying with PayPal. I have raised a dispute with PayPal so we will have to see.

    Thinking may be able to get cc that fund PayPal involved.
    :(
    It's a pain and due to work I won't be able to really look at it until Friday.

    Suppose I should be happy it's only £20 I got hit for.

    If anyone has found other deals please post here to try and help others.
    I think a new thread would be a better idea ...

    :(.

    It's not an issue for the CC as you used them to pay Paypal, not to Ovivo.

    Just keep with the Paypal claim, they will refund you for goods not received.
