Eritel top-ups (Eritrea): how do you buy a top-up code and use it?

Top up an Eritel line in Eritrea with a simple PIN code

🇪🇷 This service lets you buy a top-up code (PIN code) for an Eritel prepaid mobile line, the mobile operator in Eritrea. It only works with Eritrean Eritel numbers.

Unlike a standard credit top-up, the credit is not sent directly to the number: you buy a PIN code, which you then pass on to the person using the line (by text, WhatsApp, etc.), just like a top-up card bought in a shop.

How do I buy an Eritel code?

In your Contacts at the bottom of the screen, select the Eritrean (Eritel) number of the person you want to top up.

Then select the top-up amount you want and buy the corresponding code. The PIN code is displayed at the end of the purchase.

How do I use the code?

📱 The code is a number to be entered on the phone containing the Eritel SIM card to be topped up:

Eritel: dial *141*PIN CODE# then press the call button.

The credit is then added to the line.

Good to know

  • Make sure the line to be topped up is an Eritel line in Eritrea: the code does not work with any other operator or in any other country.

  • The PIN code is single-use: once entered, it cannot be used again. Only share it with the person who needs to top up their line.

  • Keep the code until the top-up has been confirmed on the line.
