When do I become a 'customer'

[#1]

Sign-up up to Plusnet telephone and broadband on 29th Jan. Paid 12 months up front. Tried to buy a couple of mates rates SIMs but details not accepted. Spoke to various via online and phone about this, most suggest 24 - 48 hours for sign-up to register. I can access my account (and link to mates rates perk) and have emails confirming order. When should I expect to be able to use mates rates?

Thanks

Hi @PNcommuser 

Welcome to the Forums!

You should be able to make good of the Mates Rates offers as soon as you get the ""Welcome to Plusnet" messages through. 

What happens when you try to actually take out a Mates Rate SIM? 

Thanks,

Hi PNcommuser@

Please accept our apologies.

We have checked over the policies in place and your services need to be live before you can utilise mates rates on mobile.

Once your service is live please feel free to contact out Mobile Sales team on: 0800 079 1133
