Recharge Tigo nowAbout Tigo
GSM and LTE
Tigo runs GSM and LTE coverage across Honduras, serving both the big cities and much of the country's rural areas.
Prepaid top-ups
Like the rest of the Honduran market, Tigo relies heavily on prepaid. Sending a top-up from abroad keeps a family member's Tigo number active and connected.
Tigo services and top-up types
Top-ups add prepaid credit the recipient can use on Tigo's calls, messages and data offers.
Credit and minutes
Add prepaid credit to a Tigo line for calls and messages. The recipient uses it at Tigo's standard rates.
Mobile data
Credit can go toward Tigo's data bundles so the recipient stays connected with messaging apps and browsing.
Stay active
Regular top-ups help keep a prepaid Tigo number active and reachable, which matters for family members who rely on it daily.
