Doesn't sound like Yackie have any sort of working service yet. Dispute the charge if they don't offer a refund soon. (BTW, SMS has never worked with 09, so unlikely to do so with this if it is a white label version of 09).

I was curious because on 09 Mobile you get you balance by callback on this Yackie Mobile (09 Mobile rebrand) you get your balance by SMS sent to the handset

Thanks for the legal info about Ofcom
