Topping up your mobile: If you don't pay for your mobile on a monthly account, then you need to regularly top up your mobile. All top up means is that when the credit on your mobile runs low you need to buy more credit.

When should I top up?: Every time you make a call you use up a little of the credit on your mobile. When you have less than 10 minutes of call time left in your account you receive a recorded message to remind you to top up soon. We alert you when your mobile account balance is low, but it's up to you when you top up, how you top up and how much credit you add to your balance.
