Ermes bonus card - bin?

Just rummaging in my Cyprus drawer and came across an ERMES Club Card.

Do they still exist? Is it still usable? Or bin?

Re: New Modem, Old Printer

Jackie

If using a cable you need to connect the 'device' (laptop?) to the printer, not the modem - there may be a USB cable that came with the printer ... perhaps?

Answering my own question - it's a calendar month, so have transferred more money this month! :)

Re: Best value PAYG SIM

I just transferred a fiver each to two friends but that's my monthly limit - don't suppose you know if it's a calendar month or not?

My googling suggests Primetel too - do I have to go to their shop to transfer over, or can I do it online? And how do I get a port code from CYTA?

Best value PAYG SIM

Following on from my queries in the parking app thread We've had a CYTA PAYG phone for more years than I can remember. It's associated with many things in CY so don't really want to lose the number. We are still in the UK, so, before my credit expires next week, I'm stuck with topping it up on line ...

Re: Paphos Smart Parking

FYI, since earlier this year, early spring sometime, CYTA have changed their top up validity periods and halved them. So a €10 since then is now valid for 6 months and €5 only 3. So it’s now a min of €20 PA to retain that CYTA number and I suspect a number of infrequent visitors will return to the ...

Re: Paphos Smart Parking

Not sure if it helps but we use the Sodap Beach car park which no longer takes coins. We haven't mastered the app yet but we used the texting process on our Cyprus PAYG and it is now helping to bring down our ridiculously high account balance which has built over the years due to the 10 euro charge...

Bumping this back up, sorry :oops: We've finally booked flights to CY in a few weeks time. Mrs B has just been chatting to our (Tala) neighbours who are on holiday there at the moment and they have remarked that the app was a bit of a nightmare. They had linked it to his Santander card and every tim...

Re: Mobile phone questions

I did lose all my WhatsApp messages but I believe that was because I had not got them backed up Doh! That's easily done - despite Whatsapp being set to auto-back up, it doesn't actually do it unless you do so manually before changeover. If you really want the old messages, you can put the sim back ...
