The communications unit (49) is configured to participate in transmission of data over a radio interface (32) on a prepaid account basis. The display unit is configured to provide a unique prepaid account graphical depictor (54, 54′). The prepaid account graphical depictor (54, 54′) provides a visual indication of a prepaid account balance value for a prepaid account in scaled relation to a boundary value. The boundary value is other than and less than a maximum allowed prepaid account value and can be, for example, a latest refill value for the prepaid account; an account status/balance at refill occasion value for the prepaid account; or a configured value for the prepaid account.
