Your account will be initially activated at the time of your professional installation. When your service expires after 30 days without a refill, you will need to make a payment to re-activate your account. Payments can be made on this site or by visiting a Shentel retail store or calling 1-800-SHENTEL.

When you sign up, you should receive an email with a MACID and barcode for making payments. To pay online:

• Visit shentel.com/prepaid
• Enter your personalized MACID. If you don't have the email handy, you can find the MACID on a sticker on the bottom of your modem, labeled HFC MAC ID
• Make a payment using a credit or debit card. You can also purchase multiple months or sign up for autopay while you are there.

To pay over the phone:

• Call 1-800-SHENTEL to pay by credit card or debit card.

You may purchase refills online or by bringing your Shentel Prepaid Key Card to a Shentel store in your area. To top off your account online, you must visit shentel.com/prepaid. You will be asked to enter your modem’s MAC ID. After that, you will be directed to your account status page, with payment options.

A MAC ID is a unique code that all network devices have so that they can be uniquely identified. We need the MAC ID from your modem to be able to provide service to your location. You can find the MAC ID printed on a sticker on the bottom of the modem under the barcode. We also email you a digital key card which contains your MAC ID for easier reference. 

Visit shentel.com/prepaid and enter your MACID to see when your current service is scheduled to end. You can set up automatic payments on the site to keep from accidentally letting your service disconnect. 

You are not required to maintain consecutive service. You may purchase Internet service to use whenever it is convenient for you. If you miss a month, you may purchase a refill the following month with no penalty or additional charge. If you transfer your prepaid service, you will have to select a current Shentel Prepaid Internet plan.
