Credits (or top ups) are available in 6 increments: £10, £20, £30, £40, £50 & £60. Each credit amount provides a different service duration (amount of time sim is active for):
In addition to normal top ups, we will also be providing automatic top ups, which means that when the credit balance on the sim reaches a certain level, an automatic top up will occur assuming you have set this feature up. We will also have automatic top ups which do not require a certain threshold to be hit, which means the credit is applied on a certain day every week or month. Both of these features will be announced shortly.
Please contact us once you have received your sim, providing us with your Anywhere number, existing number (that you wish to transfer) and PAC code. Your PAC code will be issued by your current provider and enables the transfer to Anywhere Sim.
