Send an airtime recharge to Vodafone, India

Vodafone

Vodafone India is the second largest mobile phone network nationally after Airtel. It has approximately 223 million customers and 21% of the total market share. The popularity of the network makes our Vodafone India top up service a great way to stay in touch.

Once you’ve created your WorldRemit account, you can top up mobile phones on the Vodafone India network from thousands of miles away. You can complete the Vodafone recharge online using any device. All you need is the WorldRemit website or app to top up the phones of family and friends in India within minutes.

How to send an airtime recharge to Vodafone India

The first step is to create your free WorldRemit account. Then just follow these simple steps:

  1. Visit our homepage and select India from the 'choose a country to send to' dropdown list

  2. Select ‘Airtime top up’ as the preferred service

  3. Enter the phone number of the mobile you want to top up

  4. You’ll be shown a range of top up amounts for Vodafone India

  5. Choose the top up amount and pay online

  6. We’ll send you and your recipient confirmation by SMS and email once the airtime has been sent and credited

How much does a Vodafone recharge cost?

We don’t charge any fees for our Vodafone India recharge service. However, India deducts tax locally, so your recipient will receive approximately 87% of the full top up value.  

How can the Vodafone top up be used?

Once the Vodafone recharge has been credited to your recipient’s phone, they’ll be able to use the airtime to make calls, send texts and access their online services. They won’t be able to transfer the airtime into cash.
