Give your customers a simple way to recharge prepaid mobile phones with airtime and data. Offer top-up through your own app, website or store, whether customers are topping up their own phone or sending credit to family and friends in other countries.
About our top-up service
Mobile top-up lets people add credit or data to a prepaid phone in seconds, without visiting a shop or buying a scratch card. For many people it’s an everyday purchase. For those living away from home, it’s also one of the easiest ways to help family stay connected.
Numbers provides the connection between your business and mobile operators. You offer top-up to your customers through your own channels, and we handle the processing behind the scenes, so each top-up reaches the right number quickly and securely.
What you can offer
Airtime top-up
Prepaid credit sent directly to a mobile number. It’s ready to use as soon as it arrives, for calls, messages and anything else the recipient’s plan allows.
Data bundles
Mobile data packages from the recipient’s operator, added straight to their phone line. A practical option for people who rely on their phone for messaging apps, browsing and work.
Why offer mobile top-up
In many countries, most people use prepaid phones that need topping up regularly, which makes top-up something customers come back for again and again. Adding it to your app, website or store gives customers another reason to choose you, keeps them engaged with your business, and creates an additional source of revenue.
