T-Mobile PAYG Top Up Cards Availability

Leodogger

Anyone know who still stocks the T-Mobile Top Up Cards without Sims? I have tried the EE shops, T-Mobile Shops, some supermarkets who seem to charge £1 but include the Sim which I do not want as I do not want to change my phone number which took 7 days last time to get ported over to my new phone and finally I rang T-Mobile who said to try their shops ! When I said I had, he said they didn't supply them from T-Mobile any longer but some shops have them.

So anyone know who still stocks just the T-Mobile PAYG Card without the Sim ?

I'm pretty sure that even though they come with a SIM card they are not associated to the SIM. You have to manually do that, well that's how it used to be anyways

From T-Mobile: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/payg/top-up/e-top-up/
1. Pick up your E top-up card


Your E top-up card came with your pay as you go SIM. However, you can also pop into your nearest T-Mobile store and pick up a new one.
Tip: If you've lost this card, or if you want to link extra E top-up cards to your account (a popular option for parents who want to top up their children's credit), you can easily pick a replacement up for free at any shop displaying the green 'top-up' sign.


2. Link your E top-up card to your phone


Linking your card to your phone is a breeze. Simply dial 150 from your mobile and follow the instructions on the card.


3. You're ready to
top up


When you want to top up, all you need to do is:

• Visit any shop displaying the green 'top-up' sign
• Tell them how much you want to top up (between £5 and £50 in £5 increments)
• Hand over your E top-up card for swiping
• Pay (and don't forget to get your E top-up card back!)

Tip: If you have more than one E top-up card, write the phone number each is linked to on the back so you don't get them mixed up.

I do know all that I have already looked it up on line. The cards that come with the sim apparently are linked to the phone nowadays, at least that is what I was told at Asda who had a card as I say but only with a sim which meant I would have to change my number which I don't want to do. I don't ring 150 as they charge and as a matter of principle I don't see why I should PAY to PAY for a top-up if you see what I mean.

If push comes to shove I will have to do it online which is OK whilst I am here in England but I am shortly going to be over in Spain at my daughter's and I will not have my laptop with me so I will have to make sure I top up before I go.

Why on earth would you need a Top Up card anyway? It brings you no benefit whatsoever.

There are around nine different ways to top up and you get hung up on a Top Up card that is of little benefit to you anyway.
Personally I think that you like visiting the shops and bothering the staff.

The is no charge for using 150. There may be a charge to call Customer Service, but I showed you how to avoid that in your previous thread that stretched to 180 posts.

Let's hope that this one doesn't go the same way, before you finally 'get it'.

Ways to top up T-Mobile I went through the cheapest way with you in your other thread.

Apart from anything else, it will be cheaper to use a local SIM whilst in Spain.
