Q
− How do I pay for my calls?
A
− There are two main types of registration with a
service provider or mobile phone company. One is a
contract − this is where you sign up for agreed
contract over several months / year and pay an
agreed monthly fee. This is more suited to people
who are using their mobile phone as part of their job
for example. The other is Pay−as−you−go, sometimes
abbreviated to PAYG. With this type of service you
add credit to the card and top up as and when
required. Topping up the card is easy, you can do
this over the phone, on−line, at many shops and even
some cash points allow you to do this. PAYG is more
suited to less frequent users.
Q
− How do I find out my credit balance?
A
− The service provider of the SIM card should have
provided an information pack with the card. This will
give details of a short number to dial in order to
check your balance. These access codes differ
between mobile phone companies so please check
the details specific to your service provider. Key in
your number, press the talk button and the credit
balance will be announced to you.
