How to top up a Total Wireless number from abroad

You can refill a Total Wireless prepaid line from anywhere by entering the 10 digit US number on Slashtel and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The refill is delivered to the number in minutes. Total Wireless is detected from the number, so you do not choose a network or plan type by hand.

A refill adds credit or a plan to an existing prepaid line. It does not create a new line and it does not work on postpaid or contract accounts. If the number is active and prepaid, the refill goes through.

You do not need the phone in your hand. The person using the line keeps their SIM and their number. The refill simply lands on the account.

  1. Open Slashtel and choose the Total Wireless refill option.
  2. Enter the 10 digit US number, for example (201) 555-0123. If you are outside the US, you can also enter it as +1 201 555 0123. The country code is 1 and the leading zero is not dropped.
  3. Check that the number shown on screen matches the line you want to refill.
  4. Choose the refill amount or plan that appears once the number is entered.
  5. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  6. Wait for the confirmation. The refill is delivered to the number in minutes.

The plans and what lands on the phone

Plans appear once the number is entered, because availability depends on the line. What you see on screen is what lands on the phone. If the operator applies tax, the amount shown is the amount that lands after that tax, so the credit or plan on the phone matches the figure you paid.

Total Wireless prepaid lines can receive credit or a plan. The exact options are shown after the number is checked. There is no separate fee added at checkout beyond what is displayed.

If you are refilling for someone else, the refill still lands on their line. They do not need to do anything. The balance or plan updates on the account.

Entering the number correctly

Enter the 10 digit US number without spaces or dashes if the form asks for digits only. The country code is 1. For example, (201) 555-0123 becomes 2015550123, or +1 201 555 0123 in international form. A wrong digit sends the refill to the wrong line.

US numbers have 10 digits after the country code. Do not drop the first digit of the area code. Do not add a leading zero.

Double check the number before you pay. A refill sent to a wrong number cannot be moved to another line.

If a top-up does not go through

Most failed refills are caused by a wrong number, an inactive line, or a payment that was declined by the bank. Check the number first, then check that the line is an active prepaid line. If the payment was declined, try another card or payment method.

If the number is correct and the line is active, wait a few minutes. Delivery is usually quick but can take longer at busy times.

If the refill still does not appear, contact support with the number and the payment reference. Do not send a second refill until the first one is checked.

Paying safely

Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on Slashtel. The payment page is secure and you do not share your card details with the person receiving the refill. You only need the 10 digit US number and a payment method.

Keep the confirmation you receive. It shows the number, the amount and the time of the refill.

If you refill often, save the number in your account so you do not have to type it again. This reduces the chance of a typing error.

Total Wireless is one of several US prepaid brands. The refill process is the same for a prepaid line: enter the number, pay, and the credit or plan lands on the phone.
