Any way to stop nagging messages every time account tops $100?
I don't have a credit card so I pay for my phone service through topping up the account balance on my phone at intervals, and having my monthly Nationwide Talk-and-Text $15 set up to draw from that b...
MsBarrows Every time you up it is a new 30 day term. I do my 365 ----5 days before end of term the phone is dead on day 366 Your term end changes every year. But the balance stays on the account year after year. We use the texting rarely long distance.
- I believe you are misunderstanding my situation. I was originally signed up for the talk & text $100/365 but switched to the national talk & text $15 when I found out it was local calls only (and am still, years later, annoyed at the waste of money the $100 was). I have been on the $15 monthly plan ever since. I am aware that the messages are computer generated, but clearly they are either improperly set up (not checking for whether or not the account already has a monthly plan) or my account is incorrectly flagged due to starting out on the other plan. I was not speaking to sales people to try and get it fixed; I was on the phone with technical support. Thanks for trying, but your answer is addressing the wrong things 🙂
MsBarrows We don't use ld only text when on the road. The little #3 on $15 add says at the end says taxs --ld---xtra air time ---pay per use--- are extra. I guess after you have use up the package minutes before that happens. So $100 is better buy for me because we have no need to use ld . I read it as extra seperate from the $15 month. All ld is on house phone cell safety on road only. $500 for 5 years better than $900 for our needs. Sometimes wording in adds is misleading at first glance
Yeah, I barely use the phone either, I went without a cell phone for years when my previous one died shortly after moving back home with my aging dad, who had a land line. After he died we decided to do away with the land line since I barely used it and my brother has an iphone. Mostly I just have it to be reachable and for emergency use, texting, two factor authentication, and the very rare time I actually need to make a voice call. I do go visit family elsewhere in the province occasionally, and then it can see a lot of use in a month. Annoyingly that counts as long distance since I'm out of my home area, so the $100/365 plan wasn't really any use to me once I found that out. Otherwise it would have been perfect for how little I usually use a phone.
