How to top up an AirtelTigo number from abroad

Top up an AirtelTigo Ghana number from abroad by entering the mobile number, choosing airtime or a data plan, and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Slashtel detects AirtelTigo from the number and sends the top-up straight to the phone. No app or voucher is needed.

The number is a Ghanaian mobile number with 9 digits after the country code. You can type it in the national format, such as 023 123 4567, or the international format, such as +233 23 123 4567.

AirtelTigo is one of the mobile operators in Ghana, alongside MTN and Telecel. The operator is picked up from the number you enter, so you do not select it yourself.

  1. Enter the AirtelTigo number you want to top up.
  2. Check that the operator shown is AirtelTigo.
  3. Choose an airtime top-up or a data plan.
  4. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  5. The top-up is sent straight to the number.

The plans and what lands on the phone

AirtelTigo airtime top-ups land at 76.51 GHS, 153 GHS, 230 GHS, 306 GHS or 459 GHS. Data plans start with 880 MB for 10 GHS and go up to 6 GB for 50 GHS, with some plans carrying a validity period in days. The amount shown is what lands on the phone.

Airtime is the simple choice when your family member wants to decide how to spend it. The five airtime values cover small and larger top-ups, so you can send a modest amount or enough to last a while.

Data plans are for phones that need internet. The 1.1GB plan lands for 10 GHS and is valid for 5 days. The 2GB plan lands for 15 GHS and is valid for 4 days. The 2.4GB plan lands for 20 GHS and is valid for 5 days. The 6 GB plan lands for 50 GHS and is valid for 15 days.

Some data plans are listed without a validity period: 880 MB for 10 GHS, 1.7 GB for 20 GHS and 4.4 GB for 50 GHS. For those, the amount of data is the fact you can rely on. None of the AirtelTigo plans on this page is taxed, so the full amount shown is what arrives.

Entering the number correctly

AirtelTigo Ghana numbers have 9 digits after the country code, and the leading zero is dropped when you use the international format. So 023 123 4567 becomes +233 23 123 4567. Getting this right means the top-up reaches the right phone.

Most people sending a top-up to family already have the number saved in their contacts. Copy it across rather than retyping it, and check the last few digits against what you know.

The country code for Ghana is 233. If you type the number in national form, keep the leading zero as it appears in the contact. If you use the international form, drop that zero after 233.

A wrong digit can send the top-up to another AirtelTigo customer. Take a moment to compare the number on screen with the one you were given before you pay.

If a top-up does not go through

If a top-up does not go through, first check the number and the operator shown on screen. Then confirm the payment was completed. Most failed attempts come from a mistyped number or a number that is not active on AirtelTigo. Contact support with the details if the top-up still does not arrive.

Start with the number. A single wrong digit is the most common reason a top-up does not land. Compare it with the number your family member gave you, including the digits after the country code.

Next, check the payment. If the card was declined or the Apple Pay or Google Pay step did not finish, the top-up was not sent. Try again once the payment method is confirmed.

If the number and payment are both correct and the top-up has not arrived, keep the number, the plan and the time of the order. Support can look into it with those details. Do not send the same top-up again in a hurry, because a second successful order would land twice.

Paying safely

Pay for AirtelTigo top-ups by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Slashtel. The payment is handled on the checkout page, and the top-up goes straight to the number you entered. You do not share card details with the person receiving the top-up.

Paying by card is the usual route for people sending from the UK and other countries. Apple Pay and Google Pay work in the same checkout flow on a phone.

The top-up is delivered to the AirtelTigo number, not to an account your family member has to set up. That keeps the process simple for the person receiving it.

Keep your order confirmation. It shows the number, the plan and the amount, and it is the first thing support will ask for if anything needs checking.
