Confirming a recharge you bought on Amana Internet

Open your Transactions page and check that the purchase shows as successful.
Dial your network's data balance code on the SIM you recharged.
If the balance hasn't moved after 10 minutes, follow our failed transaction guide and share your transaction reference with support.

Network operators publish these codes and occasionally change them. If a code stops working, check your network's official app, which always shows the current balance.
