T Mobile, thieving sods

Catch 22. My wifes mobile had a fault and the screen said "unregistered phone" I took it to a local guy who has a stall next to tesco. He said that the sim card was corrupted and flogged me a new sim card for a £1 with the advice buy a top up card from tesco. I did that and the phone rang in ok. Tried to put the £10 voucher from tesco on the phone using 150 and 146. All I got was a pre recorded message saying because I had no credit Icould not talk to them.
Also on the phone before the corrupt sim card there was £8.60 credit.

T Mobile now have £18.60 of my money and I have sod all.

Who is the best PAYG company I use £2-3 a month and my wife even less?

I'm on O2 PAYG and can't complain, other than them phoning me every now and then because I went from two phones + £45/m contracts to one phone and top up £15 every six to eight weeks.

Want to flog me all sorts.

Have a look on provider websites, often they will send out free sims.

If your old T-Mobile simm card has died, if you ring them they should send you a new one for free (and your credit should all still be there)

They're cheap, but all (and I mean all) support is via a forum where they pretty much ignore you. Should you ever have an issue, you're screwed.

Tesco mobile might be worth a look?

150 from a t mobile phone will get you through to complaints and you shouldn't need any credit for that.

No its got to be the landline number The 150 number tells me to body lemonade off as I don't have any credit and disconects on me(must have a way of reading my bank statements!)
