Questions, answered

How do I enter an UK mobile number?

Enter it with the country code +44. A number written locally as 07400 123456 becomes +44 7400 123456, so drop the leading 0 after the country code. UK mobile numbers have 10 digits after the country code. The example is a format guide, not a real number.

How do I recharge an UK mobile number from abroad?

Enter the number with the country code, pick a plan and pay by card. The operator is detected automatically and the credit goes straight to the phone. You do not need an account or a bank account in United Kingdom.

Which United Kingdom operators can I top up?

Vodafone. Plans and prices on this page are live from each operator.

How much does it cost to recharge an UK number?

Plans currently start from $9.32 and go up to $87.93, including our service fee. The exact price is shown before you pay, with no extra charges at checkout.

Can I recharge an UK number from the UK, UAE, USA or Canada?

Yes. From the UK, UAE, USA, Canada or anywhere else, enter the number with +44, pick a plan and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You see the full price before paying, and the credit usually reaches the United Kingdom number within minutes.

Can I recharge someone else's number in United Kingdom?

Yes. Slashtel tops up any prepaid number in United Kingdom, your own or a family member's. You only need the number; the person does not need an account.

What if I enter the wrong number?

Recharges are delivered instantly and cannot be reversed once they reach a valid number, so check the number before you pay. If the operator rejects the number, Slashtel resends or refunds you in full.

What currency do I pay in?

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.

Is it safe to pay on Slashtel?

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe with 3D Secure where your bank supports it, and Slashtel never sees or stores your full card details.

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.
