- Top-up via eMoney service
Simply press *1201# and send as usual and you will be given a balance update on the screen of your phone.
If your balance is below the required amount for making a call and you try to call someone, you will hear a "low balance" tone and the call will not go through, once you top-up again, you will regain the services of you phone. If someone tries to call you while your balance is too low, the call will not be connected.

When using International Roaming Service (IRS), you should use mobile devices with adaptable specifications (new model mobile phones that support this technology) to be able to use the services. Typically, the standard service bands are as follow:
- Europe: 900/1800 GSM Band
- U.S. and Canada: 850/1900 GSM Band
- Japan and South Korea: WCDMA (3G) Band

- Actively control outgoing calls; only receive calls in case of necessity. (Note: You cannot make calls or send SMS to services that use abbreviated numbers, for example: 1777, 1772 …)
- Using SMS is much lower rate than voice call.
- Checking the Data services usage such as GPRS, Push Mail: Push Mail service charge while Roaming will be based on Data Roaming tariff of visited networks.
