Anyone seen this? I am trying to topup the broadband account, the "Skinny mobile number" field comes pre-populated with a number - but when I click [Proceed] it says it's not a valid number:

The mobile number you entered is not a Skinny Mobile number. Please double check the number and try again.

And the account won't expire until mid-2017.

@LivingSkinny any ideas?

My first question is why are you trying to top-up a Broadband account? Renewals charge automatically to the registered credit card.

Wait a minute. Probably user error. I don't leave a credit card because I only want to get the plan when needed. I think today I added the card and went to top up instead of adding a plan.

Oops. User needs more training.

Sorry.

Still, the error message could be better. I'll add that to the list.

just repurchased my bundle a day early (manually) and found it adds the next 100Gb to the existing data.

Interesting, basically carried over the 50GB
