Nokia 7600 - How much credit did you get?

Options
I took delivery of two of these beasts, one yesterday and the other today. The phone is activated when you insert the SIM and switch on. I've done this with one tonight and checked the credit (dial 444). It's only got £5.04 credit>:( There were no vouchers in the packaging. The CPW help line is closed, so i wondered how much credit other folk who have ordered this have received and if there's a different way to get the other tenner?

  • Hi mate,

    Who said you get £15 credit on it?? Im sure you get £15 VOUCHER! If you look at - http://www.three.co.uk/explore/howmuch/priceplans/3paydetail.omp?cid=1077203737147

    you will see that 3's voucher setup is different to the rest you dont actually get the £15 the voucher is £5 credit and the 50 minutes make up the other 10 quid!!

    Thanks for the quick response. You are correct. The message on 444 does mention the 50 mins. Just sounded a little weird to me because Virgin and Voda PAYG only give the amount of credit in £'s.

    Yeah - so did this come automatically or did you have to load a voucher?

    No vouchers. Just put the SIM in the phone and the credit is activated in a couple of minutes.

    cheers
    I asked as I intend to sell my sim pack with the credit ( already have a 3TOGO sim) and there appears no way to prove that there's credit without activating ( and thus start the 30 day time period)

    When does the 30 day credit validity start?
    When I got the phone, I unlocked straight away and I havent even unpacked the sim.

    Nick.

    It's when you put the 3 SIM in the phone. A message comes through saying something like "your new number is being activated, this will be completed in a couple of minutes"
