Understanding the Difference: Prepaid vs Postpaid
Before proceeding with any payment or recharge, it's essential to understand which service type applies to your account:
Prepaid Service (Pay-As-You-Go)
- How it works: You purchase credit in advance and use it for calls, texts, and data
- Payment method: Recharge or "top-up" by adding credit to your account
- When to pay: Whenever your balance runs low or expires
- Typical users: Tourists, temporary residents, or those who prefer budget control
Postpaid Service (Monthly Bill)
- How it works: You use services throughout the month and receive a bill at the end
- Payment method: Bill payment using Quick Pay or other payment channels
- When to pay: After receiving your monthly statement, by the due date
- Typical users: Long-term residents, businesses, or those with contracted plans
Not sure which type you have? Check your most recent communication from Batelco, or log into your Batelco account to view your service type.
