![Mobile phone - top it up before you leave, or it may become useless!](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_soA6zrnLpb1Jsbvh2liQs1uRJ_KkmL7dP0GoBMKZOmDwRU2xkJAN88pnf6ZAc-BXOHaIVQDap0pbfXcGVDC2fgP1MDgwUpTzL8Qk4qeuxrl5-BsMyiPl_END64F8zcFH0=s0-d)
Here's a quick reminder to those of you heading off on long holidays, and who top up your mobiles with hala cards. Be sure to purchase a couple of Hala cards before you go. Otherwise you could find that your validity is running out. While in theory it is possible to top-up your mobile phone from abroad, we have found it impossible for hala card users. If your validity runs out while abroad, you could find yourself having to buy a new sim card from Qtel, as we did last year.
