As your prepaid credit balance diminishes you 'recharge' it by any one of
several ways. #1. Credit card. #2. Buy a credit at a post office - dial a
number and enter the code the PO sold you. #3. Buy a recharge card, sold at
all supermarkets newspaper shops etc. Scratch off the security coating to
reveal a number code. Dial the recharge number - enter the code!! Recharge
effectively pays money into your prepaid mobile account.

Remember in Australia every one and their kids down to 6 yrs or so owns a
mobile phone. Not all parents want to bestow unlimited call credits on their
offspring (Services offered through mobile phones can be mind boggling, and
very expensive). So you can control your mobile phone expenditure very
precisely if you wish to!!

Different carriers have different policies for subscribers whose credits
have expired. With Vodafone you can no longer dial out or sms - but you
continue to receive calls and sms messages for a time!!
