Your MOL account will automatically renew each month. If you originally signed up on the 5th of the month, your account will renew on the 5th of the following month. Your credit card will be charged at that time. If the charge to your credit card fails for any reason, we will re-submit the charge again. If it fails the second time a customer service rep will contact work out any issues so your service may continue without interruption.
If you run out of funds in your account before the monthly renewal, you can always add more funds to your account by using the recharge function in the My Account area. Please log in under 'My Account' with your username and password.
Please make sure that the billing address of the credit card matches the address inputted in your MinutesOnline.com account. Failure to exactly match this information will result in a declined transaction.

CCV2 is your 3-digit verification number. For your safety and security, MinutesOnline.com requires that you enter your credit card's verification number. The verification number is the last 3-digits of the number printed on the back of your credit card. This number is for verification purposes only and will not be stored.
Please make sure that the billing address of the credit card matches the address inputted in your www.MinutesOnline.com. Failure to exactly match this information will result in a declined transaction. Also, please contact your bank to make sure there is no issue with your card. MinutesOnline.com allows only one transaction in a 24-hour period, so please wait at least a day before attempting your recharge again.
Note: MinutesOnline.com is a subscription domestic and international long distance service. Please read our terms and conditions. There are no refunds on MOL accounts. You must use all remaining minutes in your account before the end of your billing cycle. Your credit card will not be charged for any renewals and you will not be able to recharge your account pin once you have closed your account. All account cancellations must be received a minimum of 10 days before your next billing cycle.
In order to close your account, email us us with the following information:
1.) The reason for canceling your MinutesOnline.com account
2.) The first four and last four digits of the credit card number you used to sign-up or recharge your account. (We need this information for security purposes to verify your account.)
Once your account has been closed, you will be notified through e-mail.
Your account number is your PIN.
For security reasons, your Account PIN expires at the end of your billing cycle. If you signed up for your account on the 1st of the month and cancelled during that same month, your account would expire at the end of that calendar month.
If you feel you need more time to use the remaining balance in your account, we would be happy to offer you a courtesy one-time extension. e-mail us for a PIN extension. If there is a negative balance or your remaining balance has been withdrawn, you will need to recharge your PIN. This will automatically extend your PIN six months.
*Note: If your PIN expires, any numbers you have put into QUICKdial may be deleted without notification.
You may extend your PIN for another 30 days by renewing your Account Plan. If you need assistance, please contact Customer Support or open an online support ticket.
A PIN can only be used on one phone at once. Either another party is using the PIN or occasionally a PIN will get 'stuck' in the system. If you just made a call and are attempting to make another but the system says your PIN is in use, e-mail us. This occurred, because while your call disconnected, your PIN didn't.
*Note: To prevent this, in between placing MinutesOnline.com calls, please press '##' before hanging up.
There may be several reasons why you are receiving this message:
1.) Please make sure that your phone's dial tone is set on 'tone' and not 'pulse'. Our system cannot recognize 'pulse' dial tones
2.) The system does not recognize the number sequence you've inputted. Please log in under 'My Account' to double check your PIN.
3.) Make sure your account is not showing a negative balance.
4.) A pin can only be used on one phone at once; if multiple people attempt to use the same PIN at the same time, they will receive an 'Invalid PIN' message.
5.) If you do not enter your PIN within approximately a 10-second time span, you will be prompted with an 'Invalid PIN' message as well.
6.) Finally, you may be calling from a phone that another MinutesOnline.com user has set QUICKdial on, and that may interfere with your ability to use MinutesOnline.com from the specific phone you are calling from. Please remove the QUICKdial option and your call should be successful.
If the problem still persists, please e-mail us.
If you would like to change your PIN, please e-mail us with the following information:
1.) Your username
2.) The phone number you wish to base your new PIN on
3.) The first four and last four digits of the credit card you used when opening or recharging your MinutesOnline.com account. (We need this information for security purposes to verify your account.)
*Note: We cannot customize the last four digits of your PIN.
Once this process is completed, you will be notified by e-mail and you can access your new PIN when you log into your account.
There are a couple scenarios that could apply to this situation.
1.) You have multiple accounts and dialed the wrong PIN. Please verify amount of money in your accounts by logging in under 'My Account'.
2.) You are calling from a QUICKdial line and accessing another account.
3.) Your account may have experienced a deduction up to $.75 after your recharge. The reason why you were deducted after your recharged was because you had a negative balance on your account prior to your recharge. The amount was automatically deducted after you put more money into your account.
4.) You can get a negative balance because the monthly service fee for the prior month's usage was deducted from your balance. However once your account is negative, no more monthly fees are collected until your account is recharged once more. Thus, an account can never have a negative balance of more than -$.75.
5.) Your PIN has been compromised.
You will need to change your PIN if this is the case. Please email us and provide the following information:
1) The number you would like your new PIN to be based off of
2) The username for your account
3) The first 4 and last 4 digits of a credit card used in your MinutesOnline.com account
