Etisalat Prepaid Sim

[RoxiRocks]

I bought a prepaid SIM a couple of days ago and put it an new Nokia 100AED handset. What could go wrong?
Made a call from the phone and it worked so thought nothing of it.
Now, expecting to receive a call, nothing happend. I texted to the number. Again nothing received. Very strange!
Looks like I can make calls but I can't receive calls.
Does anyone know what is going on with this SIM?
Cheers

Yes I did. I spoke to their helpdesk via 101 and followed their steps to solve the problem but still no joy. So decided enough was enough with Etisalat.

I went and got a du sim and made sure all was in order (i.e. in/out calls working) before I left the customer center.

Lesson learned. Do not buy paygo sim from super markets. Buy direct from mobile operator.

Credit is not required for incoming call ,mate

On another note ,heard lots of grievances about Du ....... wonder what's the feedback about it nowadays . Its landline is problematic for sure !!

got a prepaid sim with Du this week. Data did not work with my HTC Desire. Decided I wouldn't gamble talking to their helpdesk via the phone so went in to see them. Half an hour and a very smug manager later, everything was fixed. Happy days were it not that I won't use any data until I have got a contract once the visum comes through.

All and all no problems with Du (so far.Fingers crossed, touch wood and all that)
