Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

Hi rowaaan

 

Thank you for your post and it is great to see you here.:smileyhappy:

 

It can take upto 24 hours for the Freebee Packs to be added but 3-4 months would indicate not all is quite right and I am pleased you have bought this to our attention.

 

So I can take a look at your account and check all is provisioned correctly please follow the Private Message I have sent to you and either myself or one of the team will be in touch as soon as we can.

 

You can find your PM inbox here.

 

Many Thanks

Hi MatthewRockett and welcome to the eForum

 

I’m sorry to hear that you are getting charged for SMS when you shouldn’t be. I understand how confusing this must be for you.

So that we can take a look at this for you I’m going to send you a private message that explains exactly how to get in contact us with us. We’ll then take a look at your account and find out why this is happening.

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

Hi guys,
I've been on the Text and Web freebee for about 4 months and have topped up regularly and received my allowance as normal.
Unfortunately in the past few weeks I have topped up twice but haven't received any allowance only my normal £10 balance.
My texts have been charged at the usual rate.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

Hi

 

I topped up £10 via my card and I paid £5 to have the internet service. When I first topped up I received thhe message "you now have your vodafone text and web freebee allowance lf 300 UK texts and 500 MB UK web use to use" - no other text came through (when it usually says that your internet should be there soon and to restart your phone), and i received a text saying "dont forget to get blackberry internet service". I dont want to pay another fiver for internet ive already paid for, and its been over a day since I got my first text! Please help.

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

HI Serenk,

When you say that you paid £5 to have the internet service, do you mean that you have bought a £5 web pack or that you opted in for the BB service by calling 40035?

If you have bought the web pack, then you will need to call Customer Care who should be able to remove this and opt you in for BIS

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

Hi Serenk,

 

As Mari1970 mentioned, it may be that you've selected the incorrect pack.

 

If you haven't managed to get this resolved yet then just follow the directions in the PM I am sending.

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

I topped up 10 GBP yesterday after my VF text and web freebee ran out. However even though the balance was credited to my account the freebee is not active.

 

Could someone please look into this? (or send me a PM?)

 

Thanks.

Hi benedictpowers,

 

This will normally not take any longer than 24 hours to be allocated to your account.

 

If you have not yet received your allowance please follow the instructions on the PM that I have sent to you so that one of the team can get this all sorted for you.

Re: Text and Web Freebie not applied

Hi,

 

I seem to be having the same problem. I've recieved the text saying that I've recieved my text and web freebee, however, it seems like it hasn't gone through when I called 2345 to check on my balance. Today I went into a Vodafone store and had it sorted out, recieved a text message about my allowance, but it still seems that I do not have my allowance and my credit has been eaten up. Is there a way to fix this? 

 

Thanks.
