We understand the importance of being able to keep in contact with our family and friends at this critical time, especially for the most vulnerable people in our communities. As we make plans to remain indoors and keep away from others as much as possible through social distancing, we explore the many ways for you to add phone credit to your prepay mobile account, or top-up a loved ones’ account, without the need to leave your home.
We’ve compiled a list of the prepay mobile service providers in Ireland and the services offered by them to top-up by phone, text, online, in-App or even through your online banking. We’ve summarised the information for you in a table, making it easier for you to manage your ‘Pay-As-You-Go’ mobile account and stay connected.
