Put credit on a phone in seconds
Airtime is the simplest thing you can send abroad. It is credit, straight onto a prepaid line. The phone then spends it however it likes. No app, no account, no waiting for a transfer to clear.
We hold direct links to the operators themselves. That is why a send takes seconds rather than hours.

How a send actually runs
Four steps, start to finish. Most people are done inside a minute.
-
01
Enter the number
Type the phone number with its country code. We read the network behind it before you go any further.
-
02
Pick the amount
Amounts appear in the local currency of the phone. Beside each one sits the price in yours.
-
03
Pay once
One screen, one total. Nothing is added at the end, and no card number is stored on our systems.
-
04
Watch it land
The credit goes down a direct operator link. A receipt reaches you, and a balance note reaches the phone.

How much to send
There is no right amount. It depends on how the phone is used. The three patterns below cover most senders we see.
If the use is steady and predictable, a package often stretches further than raw credit. Read the difference between bundles and airtime before you settle on one. Costs sit side by side on our breakdown of what a top-up costs.
-
Small
A quick refill so a call goes through today. Common for a daily check-in.
-
Regular
The usual monthly send. Enough for calls, messages and a light data habit.
-
Large
A bigger cushion before a trip or a quiet stretch. Fewer sends, less to remember.

Questions senders ask about airtime
What is airtime, exactly?
It is plain credit on a prepaid line. The phone spends it on calls, texts or data at the operator's own rates.
Do I need the person's account or app?
No. The phone number is enough. Nothing needs installing on their side, and they do not need to be online.
Will my foreign card work?
Yes. We take cards issued outside the country you are sending to. That is the whole point of the service.
What if I send to the wrong number?
We show the network and the country before you pay. Check that line carefully, because credit on a live number cannot be pulled back.
Can I send the same amount every month?
Yes. Set the number, the amount and the day once. The recharge then repeats without you opening the site.
One number is all you need
Start with the phone number. We find the network, show the amounts in the right currency, and put the credit on the line. It just works.
