Calling Features

Why do calls drop?

It depends! Are you using an access number or the calling app?

If you're using an access number to call offline (without using any internet connection), then the routing may be the cause. In this case, you can get in touch with us and we'll look into the issue right away.

If you're using the calling app, please go through the following checks. Make sure:
✔️ You have the latest app version installed.
✔️You have a great internet speed. A slow internet connection is the main issue for call drops.
✔️You have no VoIP restrictions from your internet provider.

As an alternative, you can try Offline Calling if you have the option available in your app. That depends on the country you call from.

Do I always have to dial the PIN?

No, you can skip dialing the PIN by activating PINless Dialing feature in your account.

Can I skip dialing the destination number?

Yes, using our free Speed Dial feature you can initiate a call by pressing one digit only instead of entering the whole destination number. Our system will dial the number you have assigned to that digit.
To set up this free feature, please go to My Account. Click on Speed Dial, choose a digit and add the full destination number (in international format).

Can I skip hearing the prompts?

You can skip hearing the voice prompts that announce your PIN balance & minutes by setting Voice Prompts OFF. Simply log in to My Account, click on Voice Prompts, set status "Off" and click on Save.

Why do calls get disconnected?

It depends! Are you using an access number or the calling app?

If you're using an access number to call offline (without using any internet connection), then the routing may be the cause. In this case, you can get in touch with us and we'll look into the issue right away.

If you're using the calling app, please go through the following checks. Make sure:
✔️ You have the latest app version installed.

What is Mobile Recharge?

Mobile Recharge is a service that allows you to send credit to any mobile phone in the world. It is fast, simple and reliable!

How can I make a mobile recharge?

To recharge a mobile abroad, first you need to open a free account on this website.

Then, follow these simple steps:

1. go to the online ordering form
2. choose the country where you send the recharge and the operator of the mobile you want to recharge
3. proceed to payment
4. check the recharge status in the Activity - Orders section of your account.

Is there an expiry date on the Mobile Recharge that I send?

We do not impose any expiration date on the Mobile Recharge that you send and normally the mobile operator of the phone you are recharging will not impose any either. We advise you check such details with your mobile operator.

How long does it take for the mobile recharge to arrive?

The Mobile Recharge credit is normally received immediately after a successful purchase.
However, on rare occasions, if the mobile operator of the prepaid number you selected to recharge is experiencing delays, then the Mobile Recharge could take up to 12 hours.

Note that the operator will not always send an SMS to the recipient to advise of the top up and so if, after 12 hours the Mobile Recharge has not been received, then the recipient should get in touch directly with the mobile operator directly to confirm their balance.
The contact information for the operator is listed on the invoice, available in your account. Alternatively, you can let us know after 24 hours, so that we can contact the operator for you.

What are "local taxes"?

A local tax is tax assessed and levied by a local entity or authority such as a state, county, municipality, or a local operator in this case. Local taxes differ according to the the country airtime is sent to. They may cover one, several or all of the taxes below: local operator's fees, VAT, specific municipality taxes, or national taxes in the destination country. The local taxes are not under the control of BengaAngola. The processing fee is what BengaAngola adds to the order value to cover for international transaction costs. The service processing fee will be displayed in the checkout, which is the last step in the purchase process.

Can I recharge any mobile?

You must check if the mobile you wish to recharge is a prepaid number and allows prepaid recharges. After this, please make sure you have the correct number and mobile operator selected.

How do I know if my Mobile Recharge was processed?

The Mobile Recharge is processed once you receive the invoice with the status "Successful." This means that the amount was sent to the mobile operator. It may take up to 24 hours for the mobile operator to update the credit to the prepaid number you selected. You can always check the status of your orders in your account.

Why did the phone I recharged not receive the promotional bonus?

If the bonus was not received, you or the beneficiary should get in touch with the mobile operator directly. The contact information is available on your invoice with us. Alternatively, you can let us know after 24 hours, so that we can contact the operator for you.

The promotions that we display on our website are run solely by the local mobile operators, who are fully responsible for awarding the bonuses. We also display their Terms and Conditions associated with a specific promotion.

Why did the mobile phone I recharged receive less credit than I expected?

In many countries, the government charges a local sales tax on Mobile Recharges. It is the same tax that consumers would have to pay if they bought a Mobile Recharge in store, in that particular country. Also note that mobile operators in several countries reserve the right to impose fees on mobile recharges without prior notice.

Are there any extra fees that apply to mobile recharges?

For Mobile Recharge you will be charged a processing fee of minimum $1, depending on the amount you are recharging. You can see the exact processing fee amount on your checkout order summary before completing the purchase.

What is the calling rate that will apply to my Mobile Recharge beneficiary?

The rates that apply to calls made by the mobile number you recharge will be the ones established by the local mobile provider. Please check this information with that mobile provider.

Where can I check the Terms and Conditions for a Mobile Recharge offer?

BengaAngola.com may have special offers for different mobile operators. Please check the Terms and Conditions displayed on the Mobile Recharge page to make sure you know all the details of an ongoing promotion.

What if my Mobile Recharge order has the status "Failed"?

The "Failed" status can result if the mobile operator in that country is experiencing a technical outage. In this case we will attempt to send the recharge to that operator over the following 12 hours during which time the mobile operator will most likely have recovered and be able to accept the recharge. The status will then charge to "Successful".

The "Failed" status can also result for: incorrect mobile number, incorrect operator-number combination entered, post-paid instead of prepaid mobile number entered, mobile number is not yet activated etc. Please recheck the information you entered to make sure all information is valid.

If a "Failed" status changes to "Successful" then you will be charged accordingly. If after 72 hours, the status remains on "Failed" and you have not requested an inquiry, then our system will automatically cancel the transaction and you will not be charged. You can always check the status of your orders in your account Activity.

What can I do if I recharged the wrong number?

Unfortunately, we cannot retrieve recharges that were sent to the wrong number or operator. These transactions are considered complete and we cannot retrieve or refund them since a successful online payment leads to immediate credit availability on the recharged mobile. Please carefully check and double-check the number you enter.

Can I recharge minutes or data with Mobile Recharge service?

We can help you top up a mobile online, but the way the credit is being used depends on the local provider. You may want to check if the mobile operator has any plans or Internet packages advertised on our website.

Is there a maximum order limit for mobile recharges?

There is no maximum order limit for the number of orders a client can place.

Still, some local operators may set a limit to the top up amount that a number can be recharged per week or month.

How does the PIN recharge work?

When you buy a PIN recharge, the credit is not applied automatically to the number. The recipient receives an SMS with the PIN number and the steps explaining how to redeem it. Once the transaction is settled you will be provided with a confirmation email, confirming the status of your transaction and providing you with the PIN together with the instructions.
Additionally, you will be able to see these details by clicking on "Invoice" in the Activity section of your BengaAngola.com account. Contact our Support Team if you need further assistance.

Will the customers be able to use Cubacel bonuses to buy the 3G&4G plans?

In general, the recipient cannot buy data plans using the bonus. However, there are some promotions that double or triple the main balance and in that situation, they can use the extra credit for data plans too. To make sure, please check the terms and conditions of each promo.

Can I send mobile recharges that can be used for 3G&4G services in Cuba?

Yes, the credit you send to Cuba can be used for purchasing 3G&4G plans. Just remember that during Cubacel promotions, only the main balance can be used for buying such plans.
