Does anyone know what happened to the Chippie site where you check your phone expiration date? The old site does not work!

The chippie site appears to be down for checking out the expiration date. Nothing on the utschippies is working as of this morning. However the topup/reload is working fine. Here is the link to add time: https://xtremetopup.net/ReloadableTopUpGiftCardLogin.aspxYou will need your card number, pin and phone number.

The site buychippieonline.com is under construction so I used Xtremetopup to update my phone. It does not do it free like the other site. You have to use your top up card and enter all the information. Hope the other site is back to normal soon as updating free every two months was great and so easy. It also gave you your expiry date on the spot without further checking.

Earlier this week I used the site Eric referenced; my PC gave me a hard time about security as well, but I just clicked through. Where It wanted a dollar amount to top up, I just entered zero. It seemed to work as I got a "receipt." Also I think there was a place on my mini Samsung bought on island that told me when the next date was. I'm currently out of town so can't reference that phone.

Ok, just put on $1
Can't recall if that gives me 60 days or 90 days.?? Anyone recall? Sure wish I could check the expiration date.

That gives you 60 days. CHECK YOUR EXPIRATION DATE : #191# SEND OR CALL. It will give you the amount of money on your phone as well as the expiry date.

Yes it gives 60 days, I just put a dollar on each time. I do not know if $0 works. A dollar is easy and over a course of a year I have a whole $6 of extra time on the phone.
I have not tried the #191# from the US, but I seem to remember that it is suppose to work.

I know about #191# and even have it in my saved numbers for use while on island, but I was thinking if I turned the phone on in the US it would "roam" and cost beaucoup bucks.
