From: Woody on 27 Jun 2010 16:17 Voda have cut off my backup PAYG mobile saying I have not used it in nine months - but I know I have used it this year. They insist that I have lost both the credit (about �8) and the number and they cannot be recovered. However this happened once before - a decade or more ago - with my wife's phone (she doesn't use it either!) and I got both back without problem. Does anyone know if there is a way to get one - or preferably both - back? -- Woody harrogate three at ntlworld dot com

If you need to use the Voda network on PAYG get an Asda Mobile sim If you have the use of other networks in your area use them instead Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

How did you "use" it? IIRC you have to make a chargeable outgoing call (I don't think texts count, nor incoming, nor outgoing which aren't charged). > They insist that I have lost both the credit (about �8) and the > number and they cannot be recovered.

Prove to them you used it? Not sure whether the phone's log of outgoing calls would suffice. -- Andy

For low users they are not to be trusted. Virgin mobile probably still have the longest, although they can now timeout a PAYG sim for disuse after 6 months i've not known them to. Also if you add Direct Debit to your Virgin Sim turning it into a zero per month contract, it'll have no timeout. Although for a Zero per month contract i prefer Three Zero with free Skype access, free voicemail and Orange 2g roaming.
