Hey all

I went to Montreal for a month and forgot that before I left, my balance was down to 88 cents. Well I'm back now and its surely expired. What happens to a SIM that has no money left on the account? Is the SIM useless now? Or can I still fill it up or resell it on the forums?

Thanks!

I think you are still OK. You will get charged an extra 1.25 for the month. It is still possible your 88 cents is not gone, but it might be.

Technically the could deactivate the SIM. But from what I have heard they don't do that unless the balance is at zero for an extended period of time. I would guess that you will be good to top it up when you return.
