I bought a new PAYG phone online from Phones4U yesterday. It?s a Nokia 1200 on Virgin and I paid £10 for the phone and £10 for airtime (compulsory purchase). The phone arrived this morning (very fast service!) and Phones4U have activated the airtime for me on the new SIM ?for my convenience?.
I already have a PAYG phone with Virgin, so I was planning just to swap the SIM to the new phone. I wasn?t intending to use the new SIM at all. So now I will have to have two phones on the go while I use up the airtime on the new SIM, which is annoying.
Is activating the airtime standard practice? I haven?t bought a phone in a long time, so I have no idea. Is it worth complaining to Phones4U, or should I just chalk it up to experience?
