Having mobile top-up issues?

  • This payment option is only available in the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. If your account was created in any other country you will not be able to use mobile top ups. 
  • Your account and mobile phone account must be registered in the same country. If they are not, mobile top ups will fail. 
  • Sign out of Account Management or exit PlayStation Store and sign back in to refresh your wallet. 
  • If you replied to the text with 'y', 'yes', 'Y' or 'YES' the payment should have been successful. Any other responses to the top-up text will cause the payment to fail. 
  • If you reply more than 15 minutes after the top-up text was sent, the payment will be refused.
  • You will be charged the standard network rate for the text you send in reply. If you have a pre-paid mobile and the value of the top up and the price of the text add up to more than your available mobile credit, the payment will be refused. 
  • You can only top up a maximum of £50 per 24-hour period. If you try to top up more, the payment will be refused.
