Tre.it SIM is inaktive

Dennis · **Tre.it SIM is inaktive -** 11-06-2009, 16:36

I haven't used my tre.it SIM since maybe 10 month anymore and now, it is inaktive! What I have done wrong?

What happen with the money on the card? can I get it back? Or maybe can I reactive my SIM-Card? I cannot login anymore on the webside of tre.it!

Thanks!

The true validity of a tre sim is still quite a mistery.
In theory, a sim activated before may 2006 has a validity of 12 months after last recharge, instead of a sim activated after may 2006 has 5 months (+1 only for incoming calls/sms) after last billed event.
But, there's always a but, is not unusual that a sim can lives 2 o 3 year without any recharge or event, or being deactivated before the end of validity, just only if not used for a bit.

I can only suggest you to write a mail (servizioclienti@tre.it), but probably will be difficult to get something

the card was bought after may 2006 but in the first year is was not inactive after 11 month, only this year!

Is it enought to write all 4-5 month a SMS or must I load some money on the card?
Has the company to refund the money which was loaded on the SIM in Italy like in Germany?

With tre.it is a total mistery. Better to use another Italian operator if you use tha card only very few times a year...

If I understand ist right, 5+1 Monath! But what I have to do, to keep it active? write a SMS is enought or have I reload money?

I would use another operator but there where I spend my holidays I have only TIM Vodafone and tre.it and tim and Vodafone are to expensive for me! every year a new tre.it sim costs less than tim or vodafone!

They write me, that I can transfer my money from the old sim to a new one. There must be a PDF on their homepage for it but I cannot find it. Does someone know it? I only find a PDF to get the money back via Bank-Transfer but that costs 10€!

can someone say me, where I can find a store locator on the tre.it homepage? I find only the search for the big official dealers but in the past there was also a possibility to search smaller shops which sells tre.it SIM

Only send a sms should be enough, the problem is simply that tre.it servers are not really reliable.
(And about the validity of tre.it sim there's a survey by italian telecomunication authority)

Trova Coperture, Negozi e Centri Assistenza 3
select "negozi e centri assistenza"

ps: next time you could consider a mvno on tim or vodafone, i.e. coopvoce, postemobile, 1mobile ....

maccoy · 17-06-2009, 09:58

Postemobile (on Vodafone) and Tiscali Mobile (on Tim) have very interesting offers.

Effendi · 17-06-2009, 12:06

But probably he needs 3 for UMTS surfing, which is very expensive with the MVNO.
Strange that Wind has no coverage, maybe 2G only...

Dennis · 17-06-2009, 12:14

yes I need it for surfing!

The coverage of Wing was very bad the last years, but I will check it again, maybe it is now better! Thanks for your help!
