What is an airtime top up?
For many people living, working or travelling in Colombia, it can make sense to buy a local prepaid mobile phone as it removes the worry of roaming charges, which are often at their most expensive when receiving incoming calls from overseas.
To make calls, send texts and use data, prepaid phones need airtime, talktime or credit, which can be bought from local stores. However at times it can be easier for those overseas to buy Colombian airtime online on their friend’s or family member’s behalf.
At WorldRemit, you can make a Colombian airtime top up from more than 145 countries around the world. That includes the UK, the US, Australia, Canada and many more. So, wherever your friends or family members are, and whatever time of the day it is, you can stay in touch.
