How to Switch to Meaningful Planet
First of all, text INFO to 85075 from your current phone, to receive a text to say if you are still in contract, when it ends and if there are early termination fees. This way you can decide whether to switch immediately, or wait until your contract ends.
Choose from rolling or fixed term contracts of 12 or 24 months, offering 3GB to unlimited data (from £11 to £30 a month), whichever plan you choose.
You can manage your account within the user-friendly apps (for both Android and Apple) or use the online portal. Use either to view your usage, pay bills or adjust your plan.
To join, just order your SIM, which will arrive in the next few days. This is made from recycled plastic, with packaging made from wildflower paper, to help pollinators.
Some wildflowers are not safe near animal friends, so if you live with or near pets, give to someone with a pet-free home. Also don’t face indoor foliage to face outdoor gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows.
To plant wildflower seed paper, soak in a little water for at least 12 hours, to aid germination. Then plant in a used yoghurt pot or seed tray filled with peat-free soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, and spray with water daily, to avoid it drying out.
Place the pot somewhere warm and light, and seeds could germinate in around a week (if planting outdoors, do so in early summer, to avoid frost).
How to Activate Your New SIM
Once the SIM card is in your phone, just download the app, to activate your card in minutes. You can use a new phone number or keep your old phone number (contact your old provider for the PAC number or text PAC to 65075 from the current number).
To unlock your phone from the old network, text UNLOCK to 85075, to receive info (this is usually free and takes 3 to 5 working days).
For business accounts, send all the PAC codes to your account manager (or Meaningful Planet’s support team). It will then handle transfers on your chosen date, for as little downtime as possible (most within 2 days).
Can You Make International Calls?
The bundles include free EU roaming. Outside the EU, calls are more expensive, so Meaningful Planet offers pre-purchased data and minute bundles for all regions, for more affordable options (say if you regularly talk to relatives, friends or colleagues abroad). Some plans include a bundle of minutes to specific countries.
