Many times it will have happened to us to remain without residual traffic on the SIM while we were traveling in a foreign country or we were around late at night, without the possibility of stopping then at the nearest tobacconist or reception to perform a quick recharge. In these cases we always had to ask the courtesy of a relative or friend to recharge via PC, with all the consequences of the case.
From today we can say goodbye to recharging problems: in this guide we will show you the best apps that we can take advantage of to recharge on the fly for any mobile number and for all the main operators, so as to be independent!
The systems can take advantage of our funds available on credit card, prepaid card (PayPal, Postepay or other types of similar cards) or a PayPal account to top up, without having to get hold of the banknotes in the wallet.

To top up with this service, we open the app on our device, enter the credentials for accessing the Italian Post Office account and, in the main screen, tap on the item Top up on the phone in Quick operations .

Satispay works by recharging the balance from a current account (transfer), so the bugdet available within the app is limited and pre-set, so let's make sure we have enough money to top up.
We can download the Satispay app using the links present here -> Satispay (Android) and Satispay (iOS).
5) SisalPay
Another app that we can use to make fast top-ups for any phone number is SisalPay, the app of the famous Sisal reception circuit that offers most of the services normally available in tobacconists, including the possibility of making top-ups by phone.
