3 Ireland - free credit

steffer · **3 Ireland - free credit -** 26-11-2010, 10:06

Hi everybody,
I have a three IE sim card and if I check by credit balance via internet I see two differente counter:
1. free credit (free cash) - 5 € - exp in 40 days
2. cash credit (top-up) - 17 € - won't expire

When I make a call or send a text, I use only the second type of credit.

How can I use the first type and what is it??

Tks

you probably get to use the expiring part only if you spend all of the rest first

it will some bonus starting offer, perhaps for importing a number from one of the other networks

yeah, on the web site I found a note that says:
"Your credit will be used in the following order:
Any unlimited talk or text allowances which you receive as a result of topping up by €20 or more in one go;
If you've bought any add on this allowance is used next;
The cash credit applied to your SIM in the denomination in which you topped up, e.g. €20;
Any promotional credits applied to your SIM such as extra credit for topping up or porting credit".

So it could be as you said, anyway I bought the sim card at the beginning of October and then I topped up it with 20 €. No importing number from other networks.
