Can you provide more details?

Prepaid or Postpaid?
What Data plan do you have?
If Prepaid, whats your balance?
How many MB's have you used so far this month?

Cheers

i think you need a min of 2$ on your fone to even use the net.

It says this on the "Your Telecom" web page:

All rates are inclusive of GST. You need to maintain a minimum prepaid balance to initiate and continue with a data session, this will be no more than $0.01 on the 500MB plan.

So it looks to me like you only need 1c.

Bad luck that you have to topup by $10 as that is the minimum you can purchase.
