Sim suspend

[Micky21]

Hello customer services,

I have recently had a message from VM telling my sim will be suspended.  Please could you sort it out and prevent this issue from happening in the future?

Thank you

Are you PAYG?

How long since you made a chargeable call or text?

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums @Micky21, and I'm sorry to hear of the possible suspension of your SIM card.

If you're able to offer us a little more background information, starting with the questions posted by @enlli, that would be ace.

Can you please also confirm if you've recently been issued a new SIM card in the post but have failed to swap this with the one currently in your device?

Kindest regards,

David_Bn

Hi David,

I'm a PAYG customer and the last time making the calls were a while ago.

This issue is not relating to the new Sim swap as I have already had it active and work fine since.

I would be grateful if you can sort this out for me.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I am not able to make a call from my mobile at all.  I have a message from VM advising me to call from a landline to 03456000789 if need running again.  After talking to a female staff, she told me I can't use the service and suggest to make a refund.  She then asked me to check for the serial numbers which have 12 digits on the SIM and she will call back for it.  I have no phone call back for yesterday despite waiting.  This morning Friday 27 Aug, I have a call from International number 02085203846 about 11 am claiming from the Refund Department, checking for my name, address, post code and asking my dob as well but doesn't mention from VM.  I'm not convince if this is the call I'm expecting for my query but more likely being target for scam.  Would you kindly to check for me? 

Thanks
