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...
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.
