Hello,
I just started PAYG account today after transferring from business account. I did initial top up of €10 and this was wiped out within a few minutes for GPS charges. I have no idea what these charges are for, please help as I am not topping up again to have credit wiped out by charges that I know nothing about.

Hey @Dermot_88092, Welcome to the 3Community 🙂
Happy to help you here, so if you don't have an active plan and top up by less than the activation amount, then this credit will be used on calls, texts and data. In this case where you are seeing GPRS this would normally mean that you were charged for data because there wasn't a data allowance on the account.
For example if you are on the Prepay 20 plan, when you top up by €20 in one transaction the top up will be used to activate the plan for 28 days however if you don't have an active plan and then top up by €10 on this plan then the €10 would be added to the balance and then calls texts and data would be reduced from the balance.
I'd love to have a look at the account so I can this is what has happened to you. Pop through to me here on PM along with your full name, mobile number, address and date of birth so I can validate your details and check the account for you.
