You do not need an Ecuadorian bank account or a local app. Enter the Movistar number, pick an airtime amount and pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Slashtel detects the operator from the number and sends the top-up straight to the phone. The whole process takes a few minutes and works from the UK or anywhere else.
The person receiving the top-up does not need to install anything or share a code. The balance is applied to the Movistar line itself, so it can be used for calls, texts and data as normal.
All Movistar options here are airtime top-ups in USD, and each has a fixed amount that lands on the line. You choose the value you want the phone to receive, so there is no guessing about bonus data or extra minutes. The amounts range from a small top-up to a larger one for longer use.
The amounts you can send are set values in USD. Smaller top-ups suit a quick balance boost, while larger ones cover more calls or a longer stretch of use. Each one is credited to the Movistar number you entered at checkout.
The price you pay starts at $5.46. Nothing else is added on top of the amount you select, and the figure that lands on the phone is the one shown for that option. Check the details at checkout before you pay.
Ecuador uses the country code 593, and Movistar mobile numbers have 9 digits after it. If you copy a number from a message, drop the leading zero before the country code. A national number such as 099 123 4567 becomes +593 99 123 4567 in international form, and that is the format Slashtel expects.
Most failed top-ups come from a number entered in the wrong format. The leading zero is for dialling inside Ecuador only. When you send from abroad, remove it and start with 593 followed by the 9 digits.
Type the number without spaces if you can. Double check the last few digits against what your family member gave you, because a single wrong digit sends credit to another line, and that cannot be undone once the top-up is delivered.
Start by checking the number and the operator shown at checkout, because these cause most problems. Confirm the number is a Movistar line in Ecuador and is written with 593 and no leading zero. If the details are right and the credit still has not arrived, contact Slashtel support with the order details so the payment can be traced.
Give the support team the exact number, the amount and the time you paid. That information lets them check the order status with the operator. Do not send another top-up to the same number while the first one is still being checked, as you may end up paying twice.
Movistar is one of three main mobile operators in Ecuador, alongside Claro and CNT. If the person you are topping up has changed network, the credit will not reach a Movistar line. Confirm the network before you pay.
Slashtel takes payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and you pay in the checkout flow rather than sharing card details with the recipient. The order is tied to the number you entered, and the operator is detected from that number. Keep your confirmation so you have a record of what was sent and when.
Pay on the Slashtel site only, and keep your payment confirmation. Never send card details to your family member or to a third party who offers to do the recharge for you.
A top-up is delivered to a phone number, so treat the number like the payment itself. Check it twice before you confirm, and keep the screen or email showing the order until you know the credit has landed.
