What is pay as you go?

Pay as you go mobile phones are prepaid mobiles that are topped up with credit in advance. This service is also known as prepaid mobiles, prepay mobiles, pay and go, PAYG and pay as you talk. If there is no credit on a prepay mobile, then the service will be denied.

How do you top up a pay as you go mobile?

Nowadays there are a number of different ways to top up your prepaid mobile should you run out of credit. Depending on which phone network you are with, PAYG mobiles can be topped up online, with a voucher, via text, by calling your network provider, in shops and even at cash machines.
