Calling and messaging a +220 number over the internet
A call or message to a +220 number can be carried over the internet using a data connection. The caller needs a data connection and a service that routes the call or message to Gambia. This avoids a traditional international call route and gives a low cost way to reach a Gambian number. The same data connection carries voice calls and text messages to the +220 number.
Slashtel sends prepaid mobile top-ups to Gambia operators Africell, QCell and Comium. You can top up a Gambia number through the recharge page, which covers these three operators. A top-up adds prepaid credit to a Gambian mobile number held with Africell, QCell or Comium. This is useful when the person you call or message in Gambia needs credit on their phone. The top-up is prepaid, so credit is added before use, and it goes to the operator that holds the number.
