Additional call credit can be added by purchasing Safaricom recharge cards.

Even if you have zero credit - since incoming calls are always free - you will still be able to receive calls.

    Once you have purchased a recharge card, simply follow these easy instructions:
  • Simply scratch off the grey protective layer to reveal your voucher code
  • Dial 1330 from your own mobile phone

Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming Talk Abroad™ SIM Card that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
