8 ways our GO app will make your life easier

In a world where time is precious and convenience is king, having to juggle between endless tabs, passwords and tech troubles while managing your internet and mobile services should be a thing of the past. Meet the solution – the GO app, which ensures that you keep all your services accessible, whenever you need them, no matter where you are, while managing your mobile numbers, bills, top-ups and bundles becomes a breeze.

But before we dig deeper into all the app’s great features, just a quick heads-up – MyGO and the GO app share the same login details so you won’t have to rack your brain for multiple passwords. Just stick with your email and password duo.

Why use the GO app?

Convenience: handle your services and billing in one place and enjoy full visibility of your account details, all from the palm of your hand, without the need to visit an outlet.

• Complete control: manage all your top-ups, bundles, bills and so much more directly from your phone.
  Real-time usage monitoring: track data usage, call minutes and text messages in real-time and be on top of your plan limits.
• Streamlined payments: manage your expenses by securely saving your card details so that you can settle bills or top up with just a few clicks.

Meanwhile, by opting for paperless billing and communications you’re not only helping the environment, but you’re also reducing clutter and can easily retrieve digital records whenever you need to.

2. Switch plans effortlessly

Life is dynamic and so are your connectivity needs. Whether you need more data, additional talk time or a different plan altogether, the GO app empowers you to switch plans with ease. Are you 27 years old or younger? Opt for our Play plan and sort out your plan in just a few taps. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Access the ‘Manage service’ section and select the ‘Switch Plan’ button
2. Choose the ‘Switch to Play plan’ option
3. You’ll receive a notification once the new plan is activated

Haven’t connected your mobile service to your app account yet? Then follow the steps below and once your mobile service is linked, carry on with the steps above.

1. Click on “More” at the bottom of the menu
2. Choose “Link accounts and services”
3. Select “Link service”

3. Pay your bills

Say goodbye to the hassle of remembering due dates and navigating through complex payment processes. The GO app puts the power of bill payment right in your hands. View your bills over the last 12 months and pay them directly via the app. If you have a pending one, you’ll see a purple card on the Home tab informing you of the pending amount you must pay. If you have one linked account, then the button on this card would read “Pay now”. If, however, you have more than one account linked, the button will read “See details”.

On a different note, you may want to consider setting up a Direct Debit Mandate (DDM), a hassle-free method of payment so that you won’t have to remind yourself to settle your bill every month. DDM is when you insert your bank details into your account so you automatically pay your outstanding bills without intervening. Discover more about what a DDM is and how it works and here is how you can set it up.

4. Quick top-ups

Running low on credit? Fret not. The GO app ensures that you’re always in control of your usage by allowing you to top up your balance, monitor your data consumption and never miss a beat in your connectivity journey. What’s more, you’ll have full visibility of the top-up amount and date when this took place, while you can also save regular payments to top up with one touch or view your top-up balance, receipts and payment history. And if you’re worried you’ll miss a payment, you can always opt for auto top-up. With auto top-up, you can set your top-up preferences once and the top-up will recur automatically according to your selected criteria. You can either set the rule for whenever your balance reaches a certain amount or on a specific day of the month. You’ll also get to benefit from perks like extra data on your Smart, DIS or Double DAT plan when activating this payment method via GO app.

5. Gain full control of your bundles

Picture this – with just a few taps, you’re in the driver’s seat, effortlessly navigating through your data, voice and SMS bundles. This means that you not only have the ability to view your remaining balances in real-time, but you can activate more bundles on the fly or stop recurring ones depending on your needs.

6. Manage GO Secure Net
