How to top up your Prepay mobile account

Topping up your Prepay account is super easy! The quickest way to top up is by using the 2degrees App. You can also top up online, buy a voucher and top up by text, top up by phone, set up an Auto Top Up, or even top up someone else’s account. The minimum top up is $10, and once you add funds to your Prepay credit, it lasts for a whole year—yep, that’s an entire 365 days from the purchase date!

How to top up with the 2degrees App

Here’s a quick list of steps for topping up using the 2degrees App:

  1. Download the 2degrees App available on the App Store or Google Play.

Here’s a quick list of steps for topping up using POLi:

  1. Once you’ve selected the top up amount select the blue top up button. You’ll be redirected to the POLi Console.
  2. Confirm the amount and take note of the reference and POLi ID.
  3. Select the bank you are with and login using your internet banking information.
  4. Follow the POLi prompts by selecting the account you want the payment to come from and enter any references you want recorded on your bank statement.

Note: This is a one off payment method so it’ll need to be completed every time you want to top up as automatic payments are not possible through POLi.
