How to activate the GO card

The GO card is a special card containing a chip storing the information concerning a number of your mobile phone and a current balance amount remaining on your GO card. The chip also stores your personal PIN code, protecting the GO card against fraud, and PUK correction code..

8. Follow the instructions from the GO Line and select a charging method for your GO card.

Some mobile phones must be switched off and on, to make the currently charged value appear on the display of the phone.
Note: We recommend to delete the SMS message after you read it, to avoid a mail box overflow.

In case you entered an incorrect personal identification number (PIN), an error message appears on the display, stating that incorrect information has been entered. After three attempts to enter an incorrect PIN, the card is disabled and a request to enter PUK code appears on the display. Please, enter PUK with the utmost care as ten attempts to enter incorrect PUK will disable your GO card permanently.

Having entered PUK, you have an option to define new PIN (4 to 8 digits)
