Top Up Online vs Refill On Mobile


One of the ways you can top up your Thai mobile phone anywhere in Thailand or the world, is having credit sent from one phone to another. DTAC, TRUE and AIS all have this service, but they call it different things. Here's how it works to add credit to your Thai GSM pre-paid phone:

  1. You tell the merchant the amount starting at 10 Baht (and pay them).
  2. You give them your (correct) phone number.
  3. They enter your number and amount into their phone and send.
  4. You both receive a confirmation SMS telling you the credit has been added.
This service is really easy, offers flexible amounts, and saves paper.
DTAC has a great promotion on now, where if you top up 800 baht, they will give you 900 baht. Just like that. Try it here.

Another great feature is that you can send top up as a gift. Send to your friend, in another city, or country. It's also a great way to top up sim cards being used for data in an iPad, GSM modem or GSM GPS device. No need to take out the SIM to top up, just send credit directly to the phone number.

Want to try the service now? You can do it online now using Paypal or a credit card. Visit MobileTopup.com

If you need to describe it:
  • DTAC calls it: Happy Online or Top Up Online
  • AIS calls it: Refill on Mobile (ROM)
  • TRUE calls it: TrueMove top up
