Description
Topping up a Bajan mobile from Britain works in three steps. Choose Digicel or Flow, choose how many Barbados dollars to add, and pay in sterling by bank transfer or PayPal. The credit is added to the prepaid number after your payment is confirmed. It works well for keeping a relative in Bridgetown in credit.
Barbados dollar values
- Digicel: 10 BBD £5.99, 20 BBD £11.89, 30 BBD £17.79, 50 BBD £29.59
- Flow: 10 BBD £6.19, 20 BBD £12.29, 30 BBD £18.39, 50 BBD £30.59, 100 BBD £61.19
Digicel goes from 10 to 50 BBD, and Flow adds a 100 BBD option. Prices are listed separately for each network.
Check the number
Barbados numbers use the code +1 246, the same +1 that the USA and Canada share, followed by the local seven digits. Enter it all, including the 246. Credit sent to a wrong number cannot be reversed, so a missing digit is costly.
Who it suits
- Anyone in the UK with family or friends on a prepaid Digicel or Flow line in Barbados.
- People who like to send a small amount regularly instead of one large sum.
Postpaid (contract) accounts cannot be topped up. If the number has moved networks, pick the one it is on now. Our step-by-step guide covers the rest.
Travelling to Barbados yourself? Our Barbados eSIM gives you mobile data while you are there, alongside your UK SIM. We send the QR code by email or live chat once your payment is confirmed.
Questions
Which network is the number on?
Ask the person, or look at the network name on their phone screen. Choose that network, even if the number first started on the other one.
Can I top up two Barbados numbers in one order?
Yes. Add each number to your basket as its own item.
