I've Got A W850i Sony Ericsson On Vodafone. And I Tried Topping Up Cause My Mate Texted Me The Number But It Was The Wrong Number. But They Couldn't Rememeber The Number As They Threw The Paper With The Top Up On. How Do I Active My Sim Again? As Vodafone Made It Inactived My The Number Of Times I Tried To Think Of The Number. This Really Important. So Can Someoe Help?.

Lol are you in New Zealand? It sounds like you are...

Basically what the person is saying is that they are on prepay and they tried to put credit on their phone. In New Zealand we buy "top-ups" from stores, which print off an EFTPOS machine. These have a code on them where you then call Vodafone and enter the code, or text the number to Vodafone who will then add the credit to the account. I don't know what happens in other countries.

The person says they lost the paper with the code on it, but kept trying to guess the code and therefore they have been barred/their sim has been deactivated.

The only fix for this problem would be to call Vodafone as far as I can see. Then explain the situation and they should help. If you are in New Zealand as I suspect, Vodafone's toll-free number you can call from a land-line is 0800 800 021.
