How it works
Sending a TopUp Mobile top-up takes about a minute. Here's exactly what happens at each step.
1.Pick a destination country
Choose the country where the recipient's phone is registered. TopUp Mobile supports 160+ destinations across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.
2.Pick the recipient's operator
Select the mobile operator that issued the recipient's SIM. If you're not sure, type the phone number — we auto-detect the operator for most networks.
3.Pick a top-up amount
Choose the credit value you want to send. We show the total in your local currency with the service margin already included — no surprises at the payment step.
4.Pay securely
Enter the recipient's phone number and pay by Visa or Mastercard. The PCI-DSS compliant gateway handles your card data; TopUp Mobile never stores raw card numbers.
5.Instant top-up
The credit lands on the recipient's prepaid balance — usually within 30 seconds. You receive an email confirmation with the operator's reference; the recipient gets the standard SMS from their carrier.
That's it
No app to install, no account required for one-off top-ups, and no surprise fees on your card statement. TopUp Mobile has been built around the simplest possible checkout for diaspora customers and travellers across Europe.
