Want to top up for someone else and wonder how best to do it? Well, wonder no more. With this short guide you\u2019ll see how quick and easy it is to top up someone\u2019s phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why top up someone else\u2019s phone?<\/h2>\n
Buying call credit for someone else might sound strange, but there are many reasons why you might need or want to do it. If someone around you finds it difficult to do it themselves, you can top up their call credit and data for them.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s also the perfect way for parents to give their children call credit, without some of the worries and hassle. No need to pay for expensive subscriptions, or worry about sur-charges. Buying call credit makes it possible for the kids to use their phones without their parents worrying.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can buy call credit in stores across Ireland. But that is a hassle in itself. Better do it from the comfort of your home instead. That\u2019s easy when you top up someone\u2019s call credit online.<\/span><\/div>\n

How to top up someone\u2019s call credit online<\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    Go to the <\/span><\/span> page and see all the providers on offer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Select the right provider<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Topping up someone\u2019s phone from a distance<\/h2>\n
    With most providers there are multiple options for how you can top up someone\u2019s call credit. In some cases you need to have direct access to their phone. For instance, you can call a phone number or send a text with the top up code.<\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    If you don\u2019t have direct access to the phone you\u2019re topping up there are still options for you. Some providers provide digital accounts (Such as a MyVodafone or My3 account). Check the page of the provider you need to use to see if they have an option for you.<\/span><\/div>\n

    No matter where you are, you can support your loved ones by topping up their call credit.<\/span><\/div>\n
