Hello I was on prepay 20 plan for years since I bought my line. I was topping up 20 euro monthly for all you can eat data and three to three calls, and I was able to use the €20 credit to buy movies or games in play store.
I recently changed plan to new prepay 20 to be able to use 5g as my old one did not have 5G add on or anything like that. After changing the plan I learned in hard way that I would no longer have the €20 credit in my balance to use it for games. THREE NETWORK:: This was not made clear on terms and conditions and still to today not clear, if you go to plans page on terms and conditions nothing mentions about it. here is the snapshot of the terms and conditions about it: Change Plan — Mozilla Firefox (gyazo.com)
I feel extremely cheated by three, My wife was also cheated by phone call support staff. MY wife was called by three and offered to switch to a new three 20 plan to have unlimeted calls to any network instead of only three to three , but he never mention that she will no longer keep the 20 euros credit, I think three staff is calling everyone and trying to make them make the switch so they will use this 20 euro credit allowance to spend on play store etc.
So advise your friends not to make the switch IF they are using 20 euro for other things.
Same thing happened to me. Topped up by 20, got text to say balance at 20, rang 1745 to check balance said 0, then got text to say 0 balance. What on earth is happening? Very Annoying.
@John_42712 Hi John & welcome to the 3Community, when you top up by your plan amount, which in your case is €20, this is drawn down to activate your plan allowances. For a full list of details related to our prepay plans check out our blog All about: Prepay Plan Activation.
If you have any further questions pop back to me here & I'll be happy to help.
Thanks for this reply, now I understand how it works, very annoying for this to happen, since in the past, I kept the 20euro balance until after 28 days, then it started to be reduced etc.
