Paying for your amaysim mobile plan: Everything you need to know
17 Mar 2021
Whether you're signing up or are an existing amaysim customer, there are a number of payment options to choose from including Credit/Debit Card, PayPal and recharge vouchers.
For the most convenient way to recharge, we recommend paying using a Credit/Debit Card or PayPal, as this allows your mobile plan to recharge automatically at the end of each renewal period.
amaysim mobile plans recharge automatically every 28 days (every 7 days if you're using one of our short-term plans) and you'll be charged the cost of your plan on the final day of your renewal cycle.
To find out when your plan will next renew, text BAL to 568, or log in to the amaysim app or My amaysim.
If your renewal payment fails, amaysim will re-try payment for your plan over the next few days so please make sure you have sufficient funds. However, if you want to get back up and running right away, here’s what you’ll need to do:
Step 1 - Ensure there are enough funds in the payment method linked to your account.
Step 2 - Update your payment details (if required)
If you need to update your payment details;
- Open the amaysim app
- Swipe up from the home screen and select Manage your Plan
- Select Change your payment method and follow the prompts to update your details.
Step 3 - Re-add your plan
Once your payment details are updated/ready to be charged, you can re-add your mobile plan by following the steps below:

There are no fees involved with plan changes at amaysim and you can change your plan at any point during an existing 28 day plan period.
