How do I send a top-up to Afghanistan from Germany?
- Enter the Afghan number. The operator is detected automatically from the number.
- Choose airtime or a data bundle. Pick airtime for calls and texts, or a data package for the internet. See airtime vs data bundle if you are deciding.
- Pay in euros. Use a German debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Delivery to the Afghan phone is usually within seconds.
Your relative receives the credit automatically — there is nothing for them to install or enter.
How much does it cost to top up Afghanistan from Germany?
You pay in euros; the recipient gets the value in Afghanis. The amount is set in Afghanis and converted to EUR at the live exchange rate with a small service fee, and the total is shown before you confirm — with no hidden charges after.
