This online Auto Top Up service is a breakaway from traditional, physical top up tickets that require the subscriber to visit atelco outlet or authorized resellers to purchase their credit. With this new payment option by PayPal, Tune Talkers will enjoy a hassle-free alternative to top up their Tune Talk mobile prepaid account, at just a few clicks of a button online.

Tune Talk CEO, Jason Lo said, “We are proud to have this collaboration with PayPal, a globally renowned online payment company. With this new and innovative service, Tune Talk subscribers can now enjoy post-paid privilege on our prepaid service, thanks to the Auto Top Up feature which ensures talk time credit to be always available, anytime and anywhere. We are always looking for ways to provide our subscribers with utmost convenience and great service experience. Now, Tune Talk subscribers could talk all day long and top up at any time of the day as there is no closing time with this service, unlike physical outlets.”

“We are delighted to offer Tune Talk mobile prepaid customers a faster, safer and hassle-free way for them to automatically top up their Tune Talk mobile prepaidcards using PayPal as their digital wallet online. This cashless payment solution is very convenient and saves precious time for Malaysians who can skip traffic and travel time to a store and now top up their prepaid cards online with PayPal,” said Klas Hesselman, Head of Marketing, PayPal Southeast Asia and India. "Today’s announcement enables Tune Talk mobile prepaid customers with a safer online top up as PayPal does not share financial information of our users thereby increasing the security of the online transaction and protecting the privacy of our users,” he added.

Upon signing up for the Auto Top Up service, Tune Talk subscribers could set standing instructions for the top up value of RM10, RM20, RM30 and RM50 to RM100, as they would in a regular online banking transaction. Subscribers also have the additional flexibility of setting a minimum threshold limit for default top up (default amount is RM10). Once a subscriber’s Tune Talk mobile prepaid credit drops below RM10, an automatic top up will be triggered via the PayPal account which helps prevent cut-offs in the midst of a phone call.

As a leading online payment player in global market, PayPal offers faster and safer ways of online payment. Tune Talk customers are not required to enter sensitive financial information such as credit card number or debit card number each time they want to top up their mobile prepaid cards. The transactions can be completed by simply clicking the PayPal button and entering in their PayPal account name and password.
