US add on not applying to account

NeilChadwick — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 18:19:45 GMT

Purchased a 30$ US roaming package and paid for it but it did not activate. Downloaded receipt. 2 hours later I checked and it showed a 30$ balance in my account but no add-ons, so I tried again. This time it said it applied the credit(D/L'ed the 2nd receipt) but still no add-ons. Waited 1/2 hour relogged in and it still shows a 30$ credit so I tried again(got 3rd receipt) still on add-on and still shows 30$ balance in account. I know my phone is ok as my last plan expired last night and all was good but now I am in the US with no phone and no google maps. What gives?

@NeilChadwick , please check your online account again using incognito mode (private mode). You might be seeing stale cached data otherwise.

if it is a first time buying , try to login to My Account using Incognito/Private/Secret browser mode and you might see the addon already purchased

The re-buying of roaming add-ons is a problem. You need to either wait out upwards to 24 hours after the add-on goes to 0/15 or ask support to re-buy it for you.

You could also buy the other bundle before waiting and then buy a data bucket if you like.

Google Maps has an option to download maps for use offline. If you don't need live navigation (can you read a map?) then the location services (GPS) will still locate you on the offline map. No data required.

HI @NeilChadwick is this a first time buying the roaming or you are buying it again after the first roaming addon just expired?

anyway, I think you should submit ticket to CS agent

Try doing the purchase again using incognito mode as well.
