How to Top Up
There are many ways to top up (buy credit for) your Three Prepay account. Below is a list of our recommended top up methods, as well as a couple of alternative ways to top up that you may not know about.
Instant Top Up
The quickest way to top up is by using our Instant Top Up service by clicking here. All you need is your phone number and a debit/credit card, Apple/Google Pay or PayPal.
My3
You can top up easily by logging into your My3 account or by using the My3 app. You can also set up a scheduled top up on your My3 account, which means you will never be stuck for credit.

Call
Dial 1744 from your Three phone and follow the instructions to top up.
Text
If you have registered a card with us previously, just text TOPUP, the amount you want to top up by, and the last 4 numbers of your registered card to 50406 (e.g. TOPUP 20 1234).
Alternative ways to top up
In Store Top Up
You can pop into any Three store or a range of retail outlets throughout Ireland and get topped up in-store there and then.
In-store voucher (Payzone): want to purchase a top up for someone else? You can purchase a voucher in-store which can be applied to any Three Prepay account by following the directions provided on the voucher.

Don’t forget
You can check your credit balance at any time by checking your My3 account or texting BALANCE to 50272.
To keep your plan benefits, you must top up every 28 days. For example, if you are on the Three Super Surfer Plan, a €20 top up is required to activate your plan benefits (All You Can Eat 5G Data, 200 Minutes, and more!) Your account will then be debited €20 to activate your plan.
Remember: If your card has expired or you have received a new card from your bank, you will need to update your card details on the My3 app to continue using your card.

Please note:
- If you top up by your required amount before 28 days is up, your plan will re-activate and your remaining allowances at the time of top-up will not carry forward.
- After topping up, your credit will be valid for 180 days. After 180 days, the credit will expire.
