Auto Top-Up is our no-worry automated payment service that allows you to top up your account automatically — whenever you need to.

• Never worry about running out of airtime.
• Never worry about refilling your account.
• Your unused prepaid balance gets carried over to the next month.

Keep in mind that if your Auto Top-Up credit card payment fails, regular pay-per-use rates will apply. To view our pay-per-use rates for Pay As You Go customers, go to our Add-Ons & Pay-Per-Use Rates page and navigate to the Pay-Per-Use Rates tab.

How it works

Use Auto Top-Up to automatically top up your account with a pre-selected amount in one of two ways:

Automatic Option

• If you've registered for Auto Top-Up and have a Pay By The Month plan and/or a monthly add-on, Auto Top-Up will automatically charge your credit card on your monthly due date.

Low Balance Option

• Your Pay As You Go account will be automatically topped up with a pre-selected amount whenever your account balance a) falls below $1 or b) is about to expire; Perfect for customers on Pay by the Minute and Pay by the Day plans!

Good to know: As an added bonus for using Auto Top-Up to pay your monthly fee(s), your unused prepaid balance will be carried over to the next month.
