My pac code arrived today so I had to ring 3 to activate it. I realised there was a problem when I had to tap in the number of the new simcard and the voice on the phone said "if you want to talk about your pay as you go number press 1, for anything else press 2".
It is actually a contract, so if they had it registered as pay as you go it would be registering as having zero credit. Which explains why no one could ring the phone but got the message above! So, that has been sorted out now and the phone is working fine on the new number until the old one is reinstated - which may be Friday. How does it take so long??!!
