    Ring them, they'll activate it for you and refund any credit you've used. Hardly slacking. It was just a simple computer error.

    Agreed, its not like Meteor have somebody sitting at a desk and authorizing each top-up and sending out txts...this stuff is automated :)

    so for a simple technical glitch you advise skipping the entire meteor customer care system and calling people who can't do anything until you make a formal complaint to the network and wait ten days for a response.

    i also recommend this for people who want to waste time and money calling someone who will tell you they can't help you

    also, are you agreeing with yourself?

    last time I topped up, about 2-3 weeks ago, I didn't get the confirmation text either. But as far as I can see, I am still getting free meteor to meteor texts (they don't show up on mymeteor call details)
