had credit but its now gone.. it was used up last night but thats the first time it used credit since i got here


Norway is not in the EU so I presume that the EU roaming texts/calls add-ons do not apply? But the price page is not that clear - it lists the EU roaming add-ons but does not explicitly list the countries that they apply to. However under standard EU roaming charges (that apply in the absence of an EU roaming add-on) it does list Norway.

If an EU roaming calls add-on does not apply to Norway (giving free incoming calls) then you need 8c/min to receive calls in Norway.

 

I suspect that you cannot receive calls because:

 

  • You have an EU roaming calls add-on but it does not apply to Norway
  • EU roaming calls add-on DOES apply to Norway but you don't have one
  • You have no credit

    or

  • There is some other technical problem in which case you need to contact support.

Hope this helps.

Hi

This is a process of elimination.

Can you make call's ?

What Country are you in?

Have you credit in your balance?

As you suggested - you should still be able to receive call's since you have monthly membership.

See below:

EU Roaming -

EU roaming calls/text add-ons cover calls/texts to all international numbers and Irish numbers

You can buy more than one EU roaming add-on  in advance if you need more minutes and texts

You'll get a text when you have used up your roaming add-on allowances.

If you use up the 15 minutes you get with the EU roaming calls add-on you can still receive calls for free for the add-on month.

If you've used up the add-on allowances then your outgoing calls/texts will be charged from your credit balance.
