Why do immigrants go all out for World Top Up Day? Well, if you’re an expat or have expat buddies, here’s why they’ve been celebrating it since 2015. We’re breaking down World Top Up Day 2024 for you, but no spoilers here! And for the newbies… let’s flashback to past events.
If you’re too busy now, you may want to check TODAY’s PROMOS on mobile top-ups worldwide.
The gist
Basically, World Top Up Day is the annual party for generosity. It’s all about expats as generous and the expat life style. They send mobile credit—aka “top-ups”—to their loved ones abroad and that is something that is unique to their generosity style. Those little top-ups keep families and friends talking, texting, and staying connected, especially where things like banks and top-up stores are rare.
But it’s not only about someone’s extended family. MobileRecharge.com is a diverse community of givers. It all started when MobileRecharge launched the day to shout out their customers and celebrate how top-ups keep global families together. It’s also known for giving you a sweet deal to send mobile credit to your people back home.

Financial support & local communication boost:

A small contribution from abroad like a $5 top-up can have a big impact in some communities and local talk. And on November 10 saving will be the keyword for multiple transactions.
Let’s talk about “underground” generosity
November 10 is not a day like ThanksGiving. It’s more like… ExpatGenerosity under the loop. Let’s talk about people’s contributions to boosting the lives of their families and communities back home. Both financially and emotionally! Not the big stuff we read in the paper, but the frequent and discrete underground gestures that don’t make it on TV.
