To hear your balance and expiry date, all you have to do is press *777, and then press send. It's a free call.

I wish you could top-up your SO with a credit card like you can with Rogers. In case of extreme emergency when there is no 7-11 nearby that would be very handy.

So top up before 8pm (7:30 in NL) on the day of expiry 😉

Top up on the dates you remember such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. then you'll not forget what that is.

Let technology do all the heavy lifting. Most phones have a calendar/datebook function. Set up an event for a few days before your actual SIM expiry date. Be sure to set the alarm/reminder option to remind you of it. That way you'll have time to buy the top-up, activate it and then set another event/alarm for when the new to-up expires.

Also, would that be my time zone? I am in Vancouver, BC.

Someone recently noted that it's not EST but I don't know what is the exact zone. FWIW ztar, the MVNO that operates SO is located in Dallas and Vancouver. I suppose you could call them and ask.

But why do you care? Why not top-up a day before and be sure that you don't lose your current balance?

The problem by not topping up at a certain date is that you tend to forgot what that date is. Top up on the dates you remember such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. then you'll not forget what that is.

If my balance expires on say November 12th, do I have until Nov 12th, 11:59pm to add more money so my balance would not expire?

Thanks for your reply.
