eir's Quick Top-Up portal lets you add credit to any eir Prepay number - including your own or a friend or family member's - without creating an account. Enter the mobile number, pick an amount, and pay by debit or credit card.
If you'd rather manage your top-ups alongside your usage and bills, you can also top up through your My eir online account or the eir app. Both let you save a card for future top-ups and set up an automatic top-up that recharges your number on a rolling basis so you never run out of credit unexpectedly.

What Top-Up Amounts Are Available?
eir Prepay top-ups come in three fixed amounts, whichever method you use:
Can I top up someone else's Eir number? Yes. The Quick Top-Up portal lets you top up any eir Prepay number, not just your own, making it an easy way to send a gift of credit to a friend or family member - you'll just need their mobile number and a card to pay with.
What If My Eir Top Up Isn't Working?
- Check the number: make sure you entered the correct mobile number, especially if topping up someone else's phone.
- Check the code: if using a voucher, re-enter the code carefully - codes are case-sensitive and easy to mistype.
- Wait a few minutes: credit is usually applied within minutes, but can occasionally take longer at busy times.
- Contact eir: if the credit still hasn't arrived, see our Eir contact guide for the right number to call.
