Beware of long SMS texts on ASDA PAYG bundles
I have been pleased with ASDA £5 PAYG bundle for several months and recently upgraded to a £10 bundle. My PAYG balance for extras outside the bundle has always been zero. Suddenly long SMS texts (more than 180 characters) failed with message "service not activated on network". Customer telephone services insist that this is because long texts are not included in ASDA PAYG bundles and need PAYG credit. They did not seem to understand (or care) that long SMS worked on my £5 bundle but now fail on my £10 bundle. I'm not leaving ASDA Mobile, but I will be wary. I will use Whatsapp for long messages.
