PAYG - Threepay top-up's lifespan question

colmac_3

Being an infrequent mobile user, I've just converted my 3 account from monthly to PAYG.

I did this under the impression that I could just add £10 to my phone and let my credit trickle away over a few months - I send around 10 txt messages a month and very little voice.

Imagine my surprise upon checking my account status on 3's website and finding that my £10 credit is only valid for a month! If I don't use it all up, I lose the remainder.

Am I just being an idiot and this is how all PAYG accounts work? I've checked the other networks' websites and they all seem to be very vague on the subject.

SANJ

is is NOT how all PAYG accounts work.
this is only the case with three, however, 2 years ago my friend was on the same PAYG as you and he said that it never ran out after a month... but this could have changed by now.

If you do want to change, i recommend u use t-mobile they only charge 3p a text on the text appeal PAYG.
