The quick way

Top Up Somalia with Ding →  |  Try Recharge.com →

  1. Select Somalia and the recipient’s network (Hormuud and Somtel)
  2. Enter the number as +252 + local number — e.g. +252 61 123 4567
  3. Pick airtime or data, pay by card or PayPal — delivery is usually instant

Good to know

  • EVC Plus is separate: airtime top-ups don’t add Hormuud EVC Plus wallet balance — send airtime/data here, not wallet funds
  • Drop the leading 0 after +252 — Somali mobile numbers are 8–9 digits
  • Hormuud dominates the market — confirm whether your recipient uses Hormuud or Somtel
