Do you ever use the phrasal verb "top up" in association with "mobile/cell phone"?
If so, would you please give me some examples of how to use this "association" correctly/properly?
Thank you.
@paok1970,
I would never say that, but I'm not British.
@paok1970,
"Top off" means to fill a fuel tank to the top. I've never heard that phrase, but it might refer to fully recharging the battery.
@paok1970,
I've heard of "top off" meaning to fill up something that is partially full all the way to the top.
I've heard of 'Top Up' as a way of suggesting a salary increase. It is British.
@paok1970,
If you had a pre-paid mobile and the credit level was getting low you would top it up by buying more credit.
That's in Australia, I don't know about anywhere else.
@cherrie,
I’ve heard it used here in USA, though not often, in the same way (re adding money to prepaid account) as Izzy and Cherrie used.
Stumble It!
