How to top up Prepaid card StarHub?
Three main channels get credit onto your StarHub prepaid line: the official app, physical kiosks and convenience stores, and third-party online platforms. Each has its own workflow and processing time.
Top up via StarHub app
- Open the StarHub Prepaid App and log in with your prepaid mobile number
- Navigate to the Pay section and select Top Up
- Choose your recharge amount (minimum $10) and confirm
- Complete payment using a linked credit or debit card
StarHub processes payments through Mastercard, Visa, or Amex. Once you confirm, credit arrives instantly on your line. The app delivers a confirmation SMS immediately after processing.
Top up at AXS Stations or 7-Eleven
- Visit any AXS Station or 7-Eleven outlet in Singapore
- Select StarHub Prepaid and enter your mobile number
- Hand over cash payment to the cashier or kiosk
- Receive your recharge receipt and wait for the SMS confirmation
This option works well if you prefer paying with cash or don’t have a credit card handy. Processing typically completes within a few minutes.
Online top up options
- Third-party platforms like SEAGM (third-party recharge service) offer instant top-ups using PayPal or credit card
- MobileRecharge (online top-up platform) provides another instant option for Singapore StarHub numbers
Third-party services process transactions outside StarHub’s own infrastructure, so review any associated fees before proceeding.
For most users in Singapore, the official StarHub app is the fastest and most direct route — no cash needed, no waiting in line, and credit lands on your line the moment you hit confirm.
The implication: choosing the official app eliminates intermediary steps and ensures your credit arrives with minimal delay.
How do I check my StarHub Prepaid balance?
The StarHub Prepaid App serves as your primary dashboard for checking both call credit and data balance. The app is available on iOS and Android, and using it carries zero data charges — you can check as often as you like without worrying about eating into your data allowance.
Check via StarHub app
- Log in to the StarHub Prepaid App with your prepaid mobile number
- Your current balance appears on the main dashboard immediately
The app dashboard displays your available call credit and data balance in plain view. The interface is described as clean and fuss-free, making it straightforward to read your balance at a glance.
Check data balance steps
- Tap on Mobile Dashboard within the app
- View your daily and monthly data usage
- Access transaction history for the past 30 days if you need a detailed breakdown
Singapore visitors using a local SIM who need to monitor their data while traveling should check the Mobile Dashboard regularly — data pauses once it runs out, but your number stays active for calls.
Can you add data to a Prepaid plan?
Yes — once you have credit on your line, you can purchase additional data bundles through the StarHub app at any time. The process requires topping up your line first, then selecting the data add-on you want.
Add data via app
- Log in to the StarHub Prepaid App
- Navigate to Manage plan within the dashboard
- Select your preferred data add-on bundle
- Confirm purchase — the data activates immediately
For users who stream video, use navigation apps, or work on the go, buying data bundles as needed keeps you in control without paying for data you won’t use.
Manage plan and add-ons
- The app lets you view all available plan tiers and their inclusions
- You can upgrade, downgrade, or switch plans directly from your dashboard
- StarHub offers three prepaid tiers (S, M, and L), each with different local minutes, IDD minutes, and roaming data allocations
Does StarHub still have a Prepaid card?
Yes. StarHub continues to offer prepaid plans, and they remain a practical option for visitors, secondary users, and anyone who prefers not to commit to a contract. The service is available at StarHub stores, authorised resellers, and convenience outlets island-wide.
Current prepaid plans
- The Prepaid S plan offers 500 local minutes, up to 100 IDD minutes, and 1GB roaming data to Malaysia — from $10/month
- The Prepaid M plan includes 1,000 local minutes, up to 500 IDD minutes, and 3GB roaming data to 6 destinations
- The Prepaid L plan provides 5,000 local minutes, up to 1,000 IDD minutes, and 8GB roaming data to 6 destinations
The M and L plans offer roaming data to 6 destinations, making them solid choices for business travelers or frequent visitors to neighboring countries. Check whether your destinations fall within the roaming coverage before choosing a plan.
Plans from $10/month
- All StarHub prepaid plans require an upfront top-up of at least $10 to activate
- There is no minimum commitment period — you can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade at any time with no exit fees
- Auto-Renewal can be enabled in the app’s Mobile Dashboard to handle monthly renewals automatically
Prepaid users get flexibility and no lock-in, but they need to actively manage their credit. If you’re someone who forgets to top up, set up Auto-Renewal in the app — it costs nothing extra and keeps your line running without manual intervention.
What this means: the tiered structure gives Singapore users a clear path from occasional use to heavy data consumption, with roaming benefits scaling up for those who travel frequently.
What happens if my StarHub prepaid expires?
After your plan expires, StarHub gives you a 120-day grace period before the line is terminated. During this window, you can still receive calls and SMS, but data and other services are suspended until you top up.
Prepaid number re-registration
- If your line has been terminated due to non-payment, you will need to re-register as a new customer to continue using StarHub
- The original mobile number cannot be reclaimed once the 120-day grace period has passed
Renewal after expiry
- Simply top up your line using the app, AXS Station, or 7-Eleven to restore full service
- The system reactivates your line automatically after receiving the top-up credit
- All features — calls, SMS, and data — resume within minutes of processing
For users considering a switch, StarHub’s All-New Prepaid upgrade can be completed directly through the app and typically finishes within minutes. Your existing credit balance transfers over and remains available for future payments.
If you let 120 days pass without topping up, your number is recycled and you lose it permanently. For anyone relying on their StarHub number for important accounts or contacts, set a reminder or enable Auto-Renewal to avoid this outcome.
Steps: How to top up your StarHub Prepaid line
- Open the StarHub Prepaid App — download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store if you haven’t already
- Log in with your prepaid mobile number — use your registered number to access your account
- Navigate to Pay > Top Up — select the Top Up option within the Pay section
- Choose your amount — select $10 or more based on how much credit you need
- Enter your card details — Mastercard, Visa, or Amex accepted; confirm payment
- Wait for SMS confirmation — your credit arrives instantly and your line is ready to use
The entire process from opening the app to having credit on your line takes under two minutes if your card details are already saved. If you don’t have the app, visiting a 7-Eleven or AXS Station gets the job done just as quickly — you’ll just need cash instead.
