Parents' phone out of balance? Recharge it from here with your card and they get it before you've closed the tab.

Recharging a Nigeria number from the UAE takes a few steps: enter the Nigerian mobile number, pick a plan, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the top-up goes straight to the number. Slashtel detects the operator from the number, so you do not need to know whether it is Airtel, MTN, Glo or 9Mobile before you start.
The whole process is done online from the UAE. You do not need a Nigerian bank account or a local payment app.
Popular plans cover a range of data needs, from small weekly bundles to larger monthly packages. For example, Glo Nigeria Data has a 6GB Special Data Plan for 7 days at 1500 NGN, and Airtel Nigeria Data has a 2GB Data plan for 30 days at 1500 NGN. Larger options include 9Mobile Nigeria Data 22GB for 30 days at 5000 NGN.
Here are some plans you may see:
The amount shown for each plan is what lands on the Nigerian number after the operator's tax, where a plan is taxed. You do not need to add anything on top.
Keeping a Nigeria number active while you live abroad is easier when you send regular top-ups. A small data plan or airtime top-up can keep the line in use for calls, messages and mobile data when your family is in Nigeria. It also helps the number stay reachable for bank alerts and other services that use the Nigerian line.
Many people in the UAE send top-ups to parents, siblings or children in Nigeria. A monthly data plan such as Airtel Nigeria Data 10GB Monthly Plan for 4000 NGN or Glo Nigeria Data 10.5GB Data Plan (30d) for 3000 NGN gives a family member a set amount of data for 30 days. For shorter visits or lighter use, a weekly plan like MTN Nigeria Data 7GB Data for 7 days at 3500 NGN may be enough.
You can send a top-up whenever you want from the UAE. There is no need to wait for a specific day, and you can choose a different plan each time.
Enter the Nigerian number in national or international format. The national format looks like 0802 123 4567, with 10 digits after the leading zero. The international format is +234 802 123 4567. When you use the international format, drop the leading zero from the national number.
Nigeria's dial code is 234. If you copy a number from a message, check that it has the right number of digits. A common mistake is to keep the zero after 234, which gives an invalid number. Slashtel detects the operator from the number, so a correct number helps the top-up reach the right network.
If the number is new or you are unsure, ask your family to confirm it before you pay. The top-up goes straight to the number you enter.
You pay from the UAE by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Prices start from $3.17, and the plan list shows the amount in NGN that lands on the Nigerian number. Slashtel does not add a separate fee at checkout, so the price you see is the price you pay for the top-up.
All prices on this page are shown as $3.17 or as the NGN amount that the plan delivers. The NGN amount is the value your family receives after the operator's tax, where a plan is taxed. There are no extra charges added by Slashtel.
If a payment does not go through, check your card details and try again. Do not send the same top-up twice. If you are unsure whether an order completed, check the confirmation before you pay again.
Enter the Nigerian mobile number, choose a plan, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Slashtel detects the operator from the number and sends the top-up straight to it. You can start from $3.17 and pick from 48 plans.
