sometime Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Time to send an SMS from my UK GiffGaff SIM to keep Sim active,but it failed to send several times, checked all the settings on the phone all OK So I thought send an SMS from TrueH to my UK Giffgaff SIM but the messages came back from my GiffGaff number invalid keyword. After spending so much time and getting nowhere I took out the SIM gave it a clean put it back and it worked A little info if you have the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matzzon Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Yep, clean you phone everybody or your Sim Card might fail. Me, myself and I would just buy a new phone. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinglife Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Maybe the SIM cards started a duel in the dual SIM card phone and one died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 How did you get your giffgaff sim? you bring over or get someone to send it? @sometime I'm just getting a friend to send one over, I've activated, but I've asked him to try and use first before sending. With ASDA mobile it has to be used in the UK first before coming to Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Track & Trace Royal Mail. Over the years we have discovered anything posted/recieved in a brown envelope in Thailand is classed as unimportant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ASDA mobile it has to be used in the UK first before coming to Thailand They don’t have to be activated in the U.K., when I came to do my 6 month SMS to keep my sim alive I couldn’t find it anywhere, finally assumed I had lost it when changing sims en route from the U.K.. I had a couple of unused sims , probably about 3 years old, popped one in and was able to transfer my old number and balance to it, great service !!
