Unlimited Minutes or not?

Can you confirm I have been upgraded to unlimited minutes as I have received a message you today at 17:20 informing me I have used '80% of the minutes included in your plan'.
And will be charged 40p per minute if I exceed my allowance.

Is this an error?
Should i ignore it?

Please let me know.

Regards,

Tim Harlow

I am also on unlimited minutes and have had the same text a few times over the years but have never been changed anything. I believe it's a technical issue. I just ignored the texts.

Hi ​@tharlow,

Welcome to the Community!

I have removed your mobile number as this is a public forum.

Have you checked your allowance via the app and your account online?

What minutes did you have prior to this? If unlimited it’s likely that you still have unlimited minutes but we can PM you to check.

Kash,

according to my account online I have unlimited minutes.

My old plan I had 500 minutes.

 

Could you confirm which one is now operational?

 

Thanks for your help

Hey there ​@tharlow, thank you.

 

When you initially change plan, if you change partway through your monthly allowances, then you may receive pro-rata’d data until your next invoice.

If you’d like, we can send you a PM to check your account?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Not sure what this means.

Does my old plan continue until 31st January with 500 minutes and on 1st February becomes unlimited?

As I posted before, my online account has already been updated to unlimited minutes but I received a text on Tuesday informing I have used 80% of my minutes allowance.

This is why I am confused.

My online account tells me I have already got the new unlimited minutes plan but the text message informs me I haven’t.

I just need to know which plan I am currently on.

 

Thanks.

Yes PM me.

According to he video between 0:44 and 0:58 it says ‘Your new plan will be in action within 30 minutes’.

Can I assume the 80% usage message was sent in error?

Many thanks.

Can we resolve this issue today?

I haven’t received a DM from you since  this on Tuesday (21st).

Do I have unlimited minutes as shown on my online account ?

A simple YES or NO will do.

From my online account, as you can see unlimited minutes.

Confirm this is correct and the above message was sent in error.

Thanks Nat but Jason phoned me and a new SIM card is in the post.

So I am still on the old tariff despite both my phone and online ID account informing me otherwise. 

Once I receive the new SIM, installed and it works, hopefully problem solved.

Thanks Tyler.

Waiting for new SIM and will report back.

Once I have installed the new SIM does the new plan start immediately or at the start of the month?

I’m low on minutes and wondering whether to add on extra minutes.

Thank you ​@tharlow

 

The new plan should’ve started automatically.

 

Thanks,

That’s what I thought too.

The ID video says within 30 minutes!

If you scroll back on this conversation you will find photos of both of my ID accounts on my phone and online informing me of just that.

But last Tuesday (14th) I received I received this message (attached).

ie I have 100 minutes left.

I have asked if this was sent in error and I should ignore it.

No answer so far.

Having got nowhere, on Friday 17th  (12.55) I made a formal complaint and Jason phoned me.

Opened a new account and  new SIM card is in the post.

 

So do I have unlimited minutes or do I need to buy an add-on extra minutes?

Is the new plan in operation now?

Or when I put the new SIM card in?

Or at the beginning of next month?

Please give me some answers.

Thanks Les,

The first informative reply on this thread.

 

“I am also on unlimited minutes and have had the same text a few times over the years but have never been changed anything. I believe it's a technical issue.”

Anyone from ID wishing to comment?
