Sending a Tigo recharge from the US usually means topping up a family member's line in Honduras, though doctorSIM covers Tigo in eight countries across Central and South America. Credit lands in seconds, and doctorSIM has been doing this since 2006.
Tigo countries you can recharge
Start with the page for the country where the Tigo SIM is registered. Tigo Honduras gets the most traffic from the US, followed by Tigo Nicaragua, Tigo Guatemala and Tigo El Salvador; doctorSIM also covers Tigo Panama, Tigo Colombia, Tigo Bolivia and Tigo Paraguay. These run as separate networks, so a recharge sent to the Honduras page will not reach a number in Guatemala, or the reverse.
Sending credit home from the US
If you are in the US and a relative's Tigo Honduras line is running low, you can send a recharge without opening an account or having the SIM registered under your name. Enter the phone number, choose an amount and pay; the credit reaches the phone within seconds, and you get an email receipt so you both know the payment cleared.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send a Tigo Honduras recharge from the US?
Yes. The recharge is tied to the phone number, not your location, so paying from the US still gets credit onto a Tigo Honduras line right away.
Does the Tigo SIM need to be in my name?
No. You just need the phone number to send a recharge, whether it is your own line or a relative's.
How fast does the credit arrive?
Within seconds of the payment going through, at any hour, with no store visit needed on either end.
Is a Tigo Guatemala recharge the same as Tigo Honduras?
No, they are separate networks: use the Guatemala page for a Guatemalan number and the Honduras page for a Honduran one.
