hi,
ok heres the problem,
i upgraded my meteor phone before christmas as part of a deal i had with a friend,
basically his phone got nicked and when he went to get a replacement they had none available.
so he bought a different phone and made a deal that when the one he wanted was avaialble , id upgrade my phone and swap with him.

so far so good,
so i upgrade, re register , get my first credit but now two months later and i ahvent received anything else.
si ive been creditless due to chrsitmas debt :rolleyes:
finally got paid so i topped up last night but the credit hasnt gone on yet.
ive been onto neteor 5 times in the past week but they still havent figured out why im not getting credit.

then i saw this topic:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=219880

and started wondering,
would metero have cut my credit if i was using a different sim in the phone?
both phones work fine and my friend can top up no problem.

tbh im not too worried about the free credit, but is there a chance i have to ring meteor up and beg forgiveness to get my phone working again?

and if i do, is this sh!t in the terms and conditions and legal. or are they withholding not only my free credit but also my own 20 euro illegally?

thanks..

Give them a call. They can be very helpful with that. I didn't know I had credit due on my account when I started using Meteor properly. An hour later and there was over 25 euro added to my account. Don't think it had that in the first place. I wasn't complaining though.
