How to Refill or Auto Refill Your Account

Use Auto Refill (recommended)

We recommend using the Auto Refill option because we’ll refill your account before you run out. You won’t have to worry about insufficient funds or your balance expiring. There are two options:

 

  • Low Balance option: with this option, your account will automatically be refilled with the amount you select (same as voucher values) whenever your account balance is about to expire or if your balance falls below $1.
  • Recurring option: Ideal for those on a By the Month plan or with a monthly add-on. Auto Refill will charge your credit card for the amount of the monthly plan and/or add-ons on their respective due dates as they may be different. Combine it with the Low Balance option to cover pay-per-use fees and 9-1-1 charges.

Things to Know

  • The name and address of your prepaid account must match the information registered with your credit card’s financial institution.
  • You must be the primary cardholder.
  • The credit card must be issued by a Canadian financial institution. We aren’t able to accept Prepaid Visa, Visa Debit, Debit MasterCard, international and third party credit cards at this time.
