Common Issues with Mobile Top-Up

  1. Successful Transaction, But Recipient Did Not Receive Airtime/Data

    • Ask the recipient to check their balance.

    • If they still haven’t received it, retrieve the Reference Code for assistance:

      • Open the Planet Talk app.

      • Tap "Send" to view recent top-up transactions.

      • Select the transaction to view the Reference Code.

      • Provide the Reference Code to the recipient so they can contact their service provider.

  2. Voided Transaction but Account Debited (Card Payment)

    • If you paid with a card and the amount was deducted but the transaction is still marked as "Pending" or “Voided”, follow these steps:

      • Check your bank statement or app to confirm the debit.

      • If debited, allow 3-5 working days for the bank to reverse the funds.

      • If the funds are not reversed within this timeframe, contact your bank for further assistance.

  3. Voided Transaction but App Credit Deducted (Calling Credit Payment)

    • If you paid using Calling Credit, and the credit was deducted but the transaction is still marked as "Pending" or “Voided”, follow these steps:

      • Take a screenshot of the transaction details.
