Can't Purchase Membership

CiaranR5304

Got a new 48 SIM. Have number switched over from my old provider.

Went to purchase membership and it declined.

 

I tried with three different cards (all with correct details and no credit issues) on three different browsers - I tried manual and auto-renewal. I cleared cache, cookies, etc. beforehand.

 

Any ideas what the heck is going on??

You mean the card payment problem described by @CiaranR5304 above?
As I said earlier you'll need to contact 48 support.
Nobody here on the community forum can fix this for you.

Hi folks, my problem was I tried to go in and buy the membership. There's a way that you can register your card first (it charges 1 cent or something to do this) and then I was able to purchase the membership after that. The folks working on the online chat helped me.

As far as I know the 1c charge gets refunded back to your card.

That transaction should just be a test transaction to check that the card exists and can be validated.

Good point about registering the card rather than just using it "on demand" - maybe there's a difference there and the registration "validates" the card properly (using the VISA 3D Secure or equivalent check) whereas using it on demand does not?
