3 mobile payg

[commoner]

Hi...I just got a S.E. X8 mobile with a 3 mobile simcard...this had a £15 top up which I in my ignorance thought was like my old phone...where I used the credit as and when I wanted. I realise now that it was for 30 days only with trillions of texts and calls and Internet stuff...after 30 days it runs out and all the unused "goodies" are lost. I only text once a bluemoon and make calls a couple of times a day so it seems like a bad deal to me if I have to top up every 30 days for something I don't need.I do browse some but don't download apart fron the odd tune either.

Can i go back to the old way of paying for credit which lasts until I lose it after my initial 30 days or do i have to keep buying every month....seems more like a pay monthly than PAYG to me

Any comments please..Iv'e scoured the Web but can't seem to get any info on this....

Thanks in advance...

Commoner.

I get much the same thing as you, as I am with O2 and am not used to it yet, as when I am trying to find out how to work it my payments get lower by the pound. I have made one call to my brother which lasted about 30sec`s who lives 5 miles away and my total has dropped by £3. How people always seem to have their phone stuck to their ear, I can only imagine they must live very well. Sorry I can`t help with your dilemma, but I know a man who can. Chuck, Chris, factor30, rojash, and many more.

i'm afraid in practical terms its like a pay monthly subscription. However the next time you purchase a 3 credit/voucher you will have the option of either keeping your cash balance or converting that balance to an "add on". Your cash balance does not not expire and they will only deduct the charges for the calls you make or txts you send. If you make a lot of calls or texts you are better off converting your cash to an "add on" as they give you quite a generous allowance.
