Bitcoin top-up — FAQ
How do I pay for a mobile top-up with Bitcoin?
Pick a country and operator on Neloxi, enter the destination phone number and amount, then select Bitcoin at the payment step. We display the address (or Lightning invoice) and the exact amount, locked for 15 minutes. Pay from any Bitcoin wallet. The recharge is delivered to the line once the payment confirms.
What is the Bitcoin confirmation time?
1–3 minutes for Ethereum-style chains; 10–60 minutes for Bitcoin on-chain (1 block confirmation). Once confirmed, the operator side itself recharges in seconds.
What are the fees when paying with Bitcoin?
Network fees only: $0.50–$5. Neloxi does not add a surcharge on top of the operator's wholesale price.
Is paying with Bitcoin private?
Not by default. Bitcoin transactions are public on-chain. The top-up itself doesn't reveal your identity, but the payment can be linked back to your wallet — and through your wallet, potentially to an exchange account if you funded it from a KYC'd source. For full privacy use Monero or Lightning.
Which wallet should I use for Bitcoin on Neloxi?
Any standard on-chain Bitcoin wallet works: Sparrow, BlueWallet, Electrum, Trezor Suite, Ledger Live. We accept Taproot (bc1p), SegWit (bc1q), and legacy addresses.
Can I top up someone else's phone with Bitcoin?
Yes. Enter any valid phone number for a supported operator. You do not need to own the line, and we never ask whose number it is.
