How to top up an MTN number from abroad

Slashtel sends an MTN Ivory Coast top-up straight to the number you enter, so the person receiving it does not need an app, a code or a bank account. You choose airtime or a data bundle, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the operator is detected from the number itself.

  1. Enter the Ivorian mobile number you want to recharge, using the full international format.
  2. Check that the number is recognised as an MTN Ivory Coast line.
  3. Pick an airtime amount or a data bundle from the list shown.
  4. Pay with your card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  5. Wait for the confirmation that the top-up has been sent to the phone.

The whole process takes a few minutes from a phone or a computer. You do not need to know which part of Ivory Coast the person lives in, and you do not need to speak to them first. The number is the only detail that has to be right.

The plans and what lands on the phone

MTN Ivory Coast offers two kinds of top-up here: plain airtime in five amounts and data bundles that mix calls, SMS and megabytes. The figures shown are what the phone receives in XOF, and the smallest airtime amount is 3621 XOF. Prices in pounds or dollars start at $5.46.

Airtime comes in 3621, 7242, 10863, 14484 and 21726 XOF. These have no fixed validity period listed, so they sit on the balance in the usual way for the line. Airtime is the flexible choice when you are not sure what the person needs, because they can spend it on calls, data or a bundle of their own.

The data bundles range from 500 XOF for 50 minutes, 100 SMS and 250Mb over 7 days, up to 20000 XOF for 45000 MB over 30 days. In between there are options such as 1000 XOF for 100 minutes, 100 SMS and 1Gb over 7 days, 2500 XOF for 3700 MB over 30 days, and 5000 XOF for 500 minutes, 500 SMS and 6.5Gb over 30 days. Some bundles are mostly data, such as 1500 XOF for 2200 Mb over 10 days and 5000 XOF for 7400 MB over 30 days. Each bundle carries its own validity, so check the days shown next to the amount before you choose. None of the plans listed here carry an operator tax, so the full amount shown is what lands.

Entering the number correctly

Ivorian mobile numbers have 10 digits, and the international format adds the 225 dial code in front. An example is 01 23 45 6789 nationally, which becomes +225 01 23 45 6789 internationally. There is no leading zero to drop, so the digits you have are the digits you enter.

Spaces are fine and so is the plus sign. What matters is that all 10 digits are present after the country code. If you are copying from a message, check that a digit has not been lost at the end, because that is the most common mistake.

Slashtel reads the operator from the number, so you do not have to select MTN yourself. If the number belongs to Orange or Moov instead, the site will not treat it as an MTN line. Ask the person to confirm their network if you are unsure, and send the top-up once you have the right number.

If a top-up does not go through

Most top-ups complete without any trouble, but a wrong digit, a switched-off phone or a temporary operator delay can hold things up. The first thing to check is the number, digit by digit, against what the person tells you. If the number is right and the payment went through, the top-up is usually on its way.

Do not repeat the order straight away. Send a message to the person and ask them to check their balance or wait for the SMS from MTN. If nothing arrives, contact Slashtel support with the number, the amount and the time of the order so the team can look into it.

Keep the confirmation you receive after paying. It is the record that helps trace a top-up that has not landed.

Paying safely

Payments are made by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the top-up goes to the number rather than to an account the receiver has to set up. You stay in control of the payment from your own device, and the person in Ivory Coast only sees the airtime or bundle arrive.

Use a payment method in your own name and keep the receipt. There is no need to share card details with the person receiving the top-up, and no need for them to send anything back.

If you send top-ups regularly, save the number once you have confirmed it. That removes the risk of a mistyped digit on the next order and makes a repeat MTN Ivory Coast recharge a short task.
