Enter the Afghan number, choose airtime or an internet bundle, and pay with your French bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The top-up arrives on the phone in Afghanistan within seconds — your family doesn't need an app, a code or an account.
This guide covers sending a top-up from France, what it costs, and when data is the better choice. It works for every Afghan network: Roshan, Afghan Wireless (AWCC), Etisalat, Salaam and ATOMA (MTN).
How do I send a top-up to Afghanistan from France?

How much does it cost from France?
Prices are shown in US dollars. Your French card is charged in dollars and your bank converts the amount to euros, as with any purchase from an international website. The Afghani amount uses the live market rate plus a small service fee, and the full total is shown before you confirm, with nothing added afterwards. See how much a top-up costs and the cheapest way to send a top-up.
Should I send airtime or data?
Send data if your family uses WhatsApp or IMO to stay in touch — a bundle gives far more for the money. Send airtime for regular calls and texts. Our airtime vs data bundle guide compares the two.
