English translation help please

I am considering to register here: http://www.dialnow.com


In the faq it says:

What is the minimum topup amount?
We require a minimum Payment of EUR 200,-. No monthly payment required. Take your time to use this credit and top up again if you run out of credit.

I tried to look up the term "topup", but didn't find it. I cannot imigine I have to buy a credit of EUR 200,- to use their service? Can somebody please explain beg.
With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A....

From the Oxford dictionary

'top-up noun (BrE)
1 a payment that you make to increase the amount of money, etc. to the level that is needed:a phone top-up (= to buy more time for calls) Ç Students will have to pay top-up fees (= fees that are above the basic level).
2 an amount of a drink that you add to a cup or glass in order to fill it again:Can I give anyone a top-up?

'top-up card noun
a card that you buy for a mobile phone / cellphone so that you can make more calls to the value of the card


So I guess you really do have to pay at least that much to be able to use their service.

Don't feel bad about not knowing the term top-up. It is something I never heard until I moved to the UK.
