Slashtel sends an Orange DR Congo top up straight to the number, so you do not need an account with the operator or a local payment method. You enter the Congolese number, choose one of the recharge amounts, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The operator is detected from the number itself.
Recharges start from $6.92. The amount is credited to the Orange Democratic Republic of the Congo line you name, and the person you are helping does not need to do anything to receive it.
The Orange list has eight recharge amounts, and each one shows the amount that lands on the Congolese phone. They run from $6.92 to the largest option on the page. None of the Orange plans listed here is taxed, so the amount you see is the amount credited to the line.
The amounts are $6.92, $6.92, $6.92, $6.92, $6.92, $6.92, $6.92 and $6.92. Pick the one that suits what your family member needs. A small amount covers a short period of use, while a larger amount keeps the line active for longer between top ups.
If a plan were taxed by the operator, the amount shown would be what lands after that tax is taken. For Orange DR Congo, the plans on this page are not taxed, so there is nothing deducted from the listed amount before it reaches the phone.
A Congolese mobile number has 9 digits after the country code 243. The example number is 0991 234 567 nationally, which becomes +243 991 234 567 in international form. When you enter it for a top up, drop the leading zero and keep the 9 digits.
So a national number starting 0991 is entered as 991 234 567 with the 243 dial code. If you keep the zero, the recharge may fail or go to the wrong place, so check the digits before you pay.
Ask your family member to confirm their Orange number in international form if you are not sure. Slashtel detects Orange from the number, so the format matters for the operator as well as the person.
**Most failed top ups come from a wrong digit, a number that is not on Orange, or a payment that the bank declined. Check the number first, then try the payment again. **
Start by comparing the number with the international format your family member gives you: 243 plus 9 digits, with no leading zero. If the line is a Vodacom or Airtel number, the top up is not for Orange and will not land as an Orange recharge.
If the number is correct, check whether your card or wallet payment was approved. A declined payment leaves the order unpaid, and trying again with an approved method usually solves it.
Slashtel takes payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, so you do not share bank details with the person receiving the top up. The operator is detected from the number, and the recharge goes straight to the Orange line in DR Congo.
Pay on the Slashtel page itself and keep your card or wallet confirmation. You do not need to send money to an individual or use a local agent.
Keep the number and the amount in your confirmation so you can check with your family member that the credit arrived on their Orange line.
