The quick way

  1. Select United Kingdom and the recipient’s network (EE, O2 and Vodafone)
  2. Enter the number as +44 + local number — e.g. +44 7700 900 123
  3. Pick airtime or data, pay by card or PayPal — delivery is usually instant

Good to know

  • PAYG only: top-ups work on pay-as-you-go plans — most UK contract plans can’t receive airtime top-ups
  • Drop the leading 0 after +44 — UK mobile numbers are 10 digits
  • Many PAYG plans auto-convert top-ups into bundles — check whether your recipient wants plain credit or a data bundle
