Frequently asked questions

The way your top-up is delivered depends on how it was purchased

Top-ups purchased directly on the UpReload website.

If you sign in to your account and buy a top-up yourself, it is activated automatically immediately after purchase.

Depending on your mobile network, your top-up will be delivered in one of two ways:

  • Direct top-up - the credit is sent automatically to the mobile phone number associated with the purchase
  • PIN code top-up - a PIN code and instructions are displayed immediately after purchase. Simply follow the instructions to apply the credit to your mobile phone.

In most cases, delivery is immediate.

If you are using Auto Top-Up or Premium, you will receive a notification when a new top-up is ready. You will then need to activate it in your account to use the credit.
