Orange launches Orange Top-Up, a solution for topping-up mobile credit from abroad, in over 100 countries

Orange has announced the launch of Orange Top-Up, an online solution that enables people to remotely top-up mobile credit for customers of over 350 operators in the world(1).

To send mobile credit to a contact, users simply have to enter the mobile number to be credited, select an amount and pay by credit card. A SMS is sent to the user to confirm the transaction and a personal message can be sent to the recipient to let them know their account has been topped-up.
Orange Top-Up is available online in five languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese) and three currencies (euros, US dollars and South-African rand). The service is designed for those who live far from their families or friends, and provides them with a simple way to send mobile credit from almost anywhere in the world(2).
This top-up service is aimed in particular at migrant populations or those living abroad who are looking for a simple way to send mobile credit to their friends and families as means to stay in contact or simply as a gift. The site enables users to top-up credit for customers of over 350 operators based in over 100 countries(1), including 18 countries in which Orange is present(3). From launch, Orange Top-Up accepts credit cards from 39 different countries(2).
The prices are transparent: the value of the credit is clearly stated in the currency used to make the payment (euros, dollars or rand) as well as in the receiving country’s currency. The transaction fee for using the service is also clearly indicated on the website.
The Orange Top-Up service will continue to expand as more and more operators from different countries connect to the service (Orange Botswana will soon be connected for example). Mobile applications through the Android store and iTunes are also planned and should be available by the summer. In addition, discussions have started with distributors to enable Orange Top-Up to be used on high-street top-up consoles, which would enable cash payments.
Orange Top-Up is the most recent service to be launched by Orange Horizons, the Group’s subsidiary that seeks out new business opportunities in countries where Orange is not already present as a mass-market telecommunications provider. Since its launch in January 2013, Orange Horizons has started-up activities in 27 countries (4). Depending on the country, these activities include local websites providing news and audiovisual content and/or online stores offering high-tech and telecoms-related equipment. In Portugal and South Africa, Orange Horizons also has a physical presence through "corners" in partners’ stores. This enables the Group to offer services to tourists visiting from certain countries in which Orange is present (for example, a SIM card can be replaced for customers of Orange in France).

But, appears to be like many of these services - only works for limited countries.

I tries to recharge Italian, British, Canadian and Irish SIMs - and each time got the message - Unable to perform request. The phone number looks invalid

Because Italy, the UK and Canada are not in the list.

Actually, they are on the list. If you look at the right side of the page, the website claims 105 countries. If you click on the "i", Italy, UK, and Canada are listed.

They are gray, which means that these countries are not enabled (unfortunately), while they accept credit cards from these countries.

If we are talking about topup.orange.com (which I just discovered) maybe somebody should update the title to something like "Orange service that would top-up prepaids from 100+ countries even on many non-Orange operators".

"Orange Romania launches online topup" is certainly kind of "meh" but this IS a big deal for people with cards from abroad (assuming of course your particular operator and credit card is supported...).
