Yet another cryptic message from T-Mobile UK’s billing system

Does anyone have a CLUE what this text means?

BAN has changed its payment type. The Privileges for the phones on this Billing Account have been reset.

I logged into my T-Mobile UK account today just to check things out. This is fast becoming a fascinating experience. No two logins are the same. There’s always something that makes me wonder why I’m paying them money.

So all looked ok, except for the fact that I’ve got one penny outstanding on my balance. I’m not sure how. I must have got my sums wrong again.

All good, until I caught this ‘alert’ top right of my billing page:

Someone by the name of BAN… has changed its payment type. Who? What?

I THINK this might mean I have finally succeeded on getting my account on to direct debit. Who knows.

OR, it might mean that (”my privileges have been reset”) I’ve been converted to a pay as you go? But it does say I’m on a 12 month contract too.

Weird.

And wonderful.

[I am, right now, also lodged on the Vodafone homepage giving serious thought to signing up with them again. The data thing is still an issue for me. 120mb of sort-of mobile data.... give me open access ... please!]

  • Isn’t BAN - the Billing Account Number (it is at 3), so I suppose that could add a little more sense to the message…
