Re: Help!! Can not buy credit

If account is created in China then it's linked to Tom.com who handles payments in China.
I'm afraid there's no way to remove this link once it is set, unless you create a new account in UK :sad:

You may double check this with customer service:

Welcome!

Tip: If you had lot of contacts then you can move these by making a back up file and restoring contact list on your new account from this file:
