How to top up a Free number from abroad

You top up a Free Senegal number by entering the 9 digit mobile number, choosing a data plan or airtime amount and paying online. Slashtel detects Free from the number, so there is no network to pick and no app for your family to install. Payment is by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the top up goes straight to the phone.

Sending credit to Senegal used to mean asking someone at home to buy a voucher. This page does the same job from the UK in a few minutes, and the person receiving it does not need to do anything.

  1. Type the Free number in the national format, for example 70 123 45 67.
  2. Choose a data plan or an airtime top up amount.
  3. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  4. Tell your family member the top up has been sent so they can check the balance.

Prices start at $2.60. The operator is read from the number, so the right Free plans appear once the number is entered.

The plans and what lands on the phone

Free Senegal has two kinds of top up here: data bundles and airtime. Data bundles run from 1 day to 30 days and include options with minutes and SMS. Airtime top ups come in five amounts and carry no validity period. The amount shown for each plan is what lands on the phone, so there is nothing else to add.

For short use, 2GB of data costs 500 XOF and lasts 1 day. A combined bundle of 450Mb, 20 SMS and 80 minutes also costs 500 XOF for 1 day. At 1000 XOF you can choose 2.5 GB of data for 1 day or 1Gb with 50 SMS and 200 minutes for 7 days.

For a week, 2.5 GB of data costs 2000 XOF, and 4.5Gb with 50 SMS and 275 minutes also costs 2000 XOF. For a month, 12.5GB costs 5000 XOF and 65 GB costs 15000 XOF, both valid for 30 days.

Airtime top ups are 3466, 6931, 10397, 13863 and 20794 XOF. Airtime has no validity period, so it stays on the line until it is used. Data plans have a fixed validity, so it is worth matching the plan to how your family member uses the phone.

Entering the number correctly

A Free Senegal number has 9 digits and starts with 70 in the national format, such as 70 123 45 67. The international format adds the country code 221 and a plus sign: +221 70 123 45 67. Do not drop the leading zero. Check the digits before you pay, because a wrong number sends the top up to someone else.

The operator is detected from the number, so a correctly entered Free number shows the Free plans. If you paste a number from a message, remove any spaces or brackets first and keep the 70 at the start.

Senegal has other operators, Orange and Expresso, and numbers on those networks need their own top up. Free is the operator for this page. If you are unsure which network your family member uses, ask before you pay.

If a top-up does not go through

Most failed top ups come from a mistyped number, a card that the bank declined or a payment that did not finish. Check the 9 digits and the leading 70 first, then try the payment again with another card or with Apple Pay or Google Pay. If the top up still does not arrive, contact support with the number and the payment details.

A declined card is common when a bank blocks an online payment abroad. Your bank can confirm whether it stopped the payment, and a second attempt usually works once the block is lifted.

If the number belongs to Orange or Expresso rather than Free, the Free plans will not fit. Confirm the network with your family member before trying again. Keep the confirmation you receive after paying, as it shows the number and the plan you chose.

Paying safely

Payments are made by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the top up goes straight to the Free number you entered. There is no need to share a password or a PIN with anyone, and your family member does not need to install anything. Pay only on the checkout page after you have checked the number and the plan.

Check the number on the confirmation screen before you pay. The price shown at checkout is the price you pay, and the plan amount shown is what lands on the phone, with no extra tax added to the plan values listed on this page.

Keep the confirmation for your records. If something looks wrong, contact support with the number and the payment reference rather than paying a second time straight away.

Prices on this page are in US dollars and include the Slashtel service fee. At checkout your card may be shown and charged in your local currency, and the exact amount is confirmed before you pay.

How long does the recharge take?

Most recharges arrive within a few minutes. If the phone is switched off, the credit lands when it next connects. You get a confirmation email with your order reference.

What happens if the recharge fails?

If the operator rejects the recharge, we resend it. If it still can't be delivered, write to esim@slashtel.com or message us on WhatsApp with your order reference and we'll sort it out.
