Where you can top up Movistar

Slashtel sells Movistar top-ups for prepaid lines in Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. You do not need a local SIM, a local bank card or an account with Movistar. Enter the number, choose a plan, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the top-up is delivered to the phone in minutes. Plans differ by country and appear once the number is entered.

Movistar operates prepaid services in each of these five countries, and the top-up you send is applied to the line in the country where the number is registered. The number itself tells the system which country and which operator to use, so there is no separate country menu to work through.

Each country has its own set of plans. Mexico shows 10 plans and can receive top-ups in MXN or USD. El Salvador shows 9 plans and receives USD. Colombia shows 11 plans and receives COP. Peru shows 7 plans and receives PEN. Ecuador shows 10 plans and receives USD. The exact list is loaded from the number you enter.

How to send a Movistar top-up from abroad

The process takes a few minutes and works from any country. You need the Movistar number in international format, a payment card or wallet, and a stable internet connection. The top-up is sent to the number directly, so the person receiving it does not have to do anything except keep the line active.

  1. Go to the Slashtel Movistar top-up page and enter the Movistar mobile number, including the country code.
  2. Wait for the operator to be detected from the number. The available plans for that country will load automatically.
  3. Choose the plan you want to send. The amount shown is what lands on the line after the operator's tax, where a tax applies.
  4. Pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The payment is processed in the currency shown at checkout.
  5. Confirm the order. The top-up is delivered to the Movistar number in minutes.

Keep the confirmation in case you need to check the order later. If the number is entered correctly and the line is active, the balance or plan appears on the phone shortly after payment.

What arrives on the phone in each country

What lands on the Movistar line depends on the country and the plan you choose. In some countries the top-up adds credit that the customer can spend on calls, SMS and data. In others it activates a plan with a set amount of data, calls or a combination. The amount shown at checkout is the amount that reaches the line after the operator's tax, where one applies.

In Mexico, top-ups can be sent in MXN or USD, which is useful if you are paying from a US card. In El Salvador and Ecuador, top-ups are received in USD. In Colombia the line receives COP, and in Peru it receives PEN. The currency shown at checkout matches the currency the line receives.

The person receiving the top-up does not need to install anything or change any settings. The balance or plan is applied to the Movistar line directly. If the line is close to expiry, a top-up can also help keep it active, depending on the rules of that country's prepaid service.

Entering the number correctly

The most common reason a top-up fails is an incorrect number. Enter the Movistar number in international format, without the leading zero of the local number, and without spaces or punctuation. The country code is part of the number: Mexico uses 52, El Salvador 503, Colombia 57, Peru 51 and Ecuador 593.

For example, a Mexican Movistar number is entered as 52 followed by the 10-digit national number. A Salvadoran number is 503 followed by the national number. Colombian numbers use 57, Peruvian numbers use 51 and Ecuadorian numbers use 593. If you are not sure of the exact digits, ask the person who owns the line to confirm them.

Double-check the number before paying. A top-up sent to a wrong number usually cannot be reversed once it has been delivered to a live line. If the number belongs to a different operator, the system will not detect Movistar and the plans will not load.

If a top-up does not go through

Most failed top-ups are caused by a wrong number, an inactive line or a payment that was not completed. Check the number first, then check that the Movistar line is active and able to receive a top-up. If the payment went through but the balance has not appeared, allow a few minutes before trying again.

If the plans do not load after you enter the number, the number may be incorrect or may not belong to a Movistar prepaid line. If the payment is declined, try another card or wallet. If the order is marked as delivered but nothing appears on the phone, the line may be suspended or the number may have been ported to another operator.

Do not send a second top-up to the same number while the first one is still being processed. If you need help, keep the order confirmation ready so the details can be checked quickly.
