Thanks for all that. It sounds better than my last experience of Mobicarte:

The mobicarte I bought then, on ebay, way registered in somebody else's name, which gave me a lot of trouble. I never found a way of changing it. Whoever buys it from you might have the same problem.
Were you able to check how much data credit you had - online or by SMS?
