Frequently asked questions

The way your refill is delivered depends on how it was purchased

If you sign in to your account and buy a refill yourself, it is activated automatically immediately after purchase.

Depending on your cell phone network, your refill will be delivered in one of two ways:

  • Direct refill - the credit is sent automatically to the cell phone number associated with the purchase
  • PIN code refill - a PIN code and instructions are displayed immediately after purchase. Simply follow the instructions to apply the credit to your cell phone.

In most cases, delivery is immediate.

If you are using Auto Refill or Premium, you will receive a notification when a new refill is ready. You will then need to activate it in your account to use the credit.
