I cannot send the top up

Top-up · Troubleshooting

Top-up won't go through? It's almost always one of three things

And the good news: if it fails, you're never charged for it.

Common causes

3 to check

Charged on failure?

No

Auto-detect helps?

Yes

A top-up that won't go through almost always comes down to one of three things on the recipient's side, not a problem with your account or wallet. Here's what to check.

The 3 most common causes

📵 The number isn't in service

The line might be disconnected, suspended, or never activated.

✏️ The number is incorrect

A typo, a missing digit, or a wrong country code in the number itself.

📡 The wrong operator or country was selected

Sending to an operator that doesn't actually serve that number.

📱 We try to catch this automatically

From the Reloadly app, we automatically attempt to detect the correct country and mobile operator from the phone number you provide — which catches a lot of these issues before they become a failed transaction.

Best practice: verify the recipient's number in advance whenever you can. And if a top-up does fail for any of these reasons, rest assured — you're never charged for it.
