Refill Mobile Phone Minutes in 85 Countries with UPside Visa from Plastyc

Plastyc, provider of the UPside Visa and iBankUP prepaid accounts, announced that the ability to add minutes to friends' and family members' phones abroad now works in 85 countries.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Plastyc's mobile Top Up service makes it easy for UPside Visa and iBankUP account holders to add minutes to their own or other mobile phones directly from their accounts. Cardholders simply log in, enter a mobile phone number in any of 85 countries, select the refill dollar amount and go. The refill is performed in real time and the person receiving the message can received a confirmation text message with an optional personal message. All makes and models of prepaid phones and most carriers are supported.

The service saves people in the US the hassle of buying refill packs and scratch cards for their own prepaid phones, and it provides a fast, easy way to send value to loved ones in other countries. Outside the US, prepaid mobile phone service is more common than contract service.

A prior version of the Top Up service offered 30 destination countries, including the world?s most populated countries and countries with large immigrant populations in the US such as China, India, Mexico and the Philippines. It quickly grew popular with Plastyc customers with homelands abroad.

With 55 additional countries offered, including more Latin American countries, African countries and the Caribbean, Plastyc expects the service to appeal to people in additional circumstances, such as parents with children who are traveling or families with loved ones overseas in the military.

"Adding minutes to family or friends abroad is a great gift. A top up of a few dollars can add hours of talk time to phones in many countries," said Patrice Peyret, CEO of Plastyc. "We're thrilled to offer this unique service to UPside Visa and iBankup account holders and eager to hear from people how they are using it."
