@nataliebenton69

Is the 'spare' phone known to be working and unlocked?

What do you hear exactly if you try to call each of these numbers:

443
43430
0800 800 150
0333 5432 111

What exactly do callers to your number hear ?

Please restart your phone to kick the goodybag into action.

Also please go here to check the goodybag purchase has gone through in your order history.

My payments

Can you see the 1 x goodybag or does it say 1 x top up?

Hi, make sure you have enough minutes left on your goodybag. Also is the phone unlocked /locked to o2? Also note that some phone numbers such as premium rate calls, are not included in the goodybag.
Also make sure you have APN settings correct and inputted on the phone.

Sorry to play 20 questions, but could you please answer the following:
What you call your number from someone else's phone, is the call simply declined or does it ring?
Can you send and recieve texts?
Can you use the internet?

Let's try this:
1) Turn the phone off for 10 minutes before turning it back on again.
2) Try calling or recieving a call. If no cigar, proceed.
3) Remove the SIM card for 10 minutes before reinserting it.
4) Try calling or recieving a call. Let us know the results.
