What you’ll find in this guide

- MB WAY: Portugal’s favourite mobile wallet

Amazon Pay: pay for your mobile top up with your Amazon account
Got an Amazon account? Then you’ve already got everything you need to pay at doctorSIM with Amazon Pay. This method lets you use the payment details already saved in your Amazon account — credit card, debit card or SEPA direct debit — to complete your purchase without entering anything new. No forms. No new accounts. No friction.
Amazon Pay is available globally, making it the most universal of the three new additions. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the US, the UK, Germany or anywhere else in the world: if you have an active Amazon account with a saved payment method, you can use it at doctorSIM right now. Security is backed by the same anti-fraud technology Amazon uses on its own platform, and transactions are processed in seconds.
It’s particularly handy for anyone already used to shopping on Amazon who’d rather not manage another wallet or type in card details manually. One click, confirm on Amazon, done.
Satispay: top up your phone without a card from Italy and across Europe
Satispay is one of the fastest-growing mobile payment platforms in Europe. Founded in Italy in 2015, it now has over 6 million users and is available across all EU countries — though its user base remains strongest in Italy, where it has become an everyday payment tool for millions of people.
Its biggest advantage is that it works completely independently of credit or debit cards: it connects directly to your bank account via IBAN and that’s it. No card needed. You open the app, confirm the payment, and the charge goes straight from your bank. No intermediaries, no details to type in, no hassle.
If you already use Satispay to pay in shops, restaurants or between friends, you can now use it to top up mobiles, buy gift cards or send international credit at doctorSIM with the same convenience as always. Just make sure you have the app installed and your account active before you reach checkout.
MB WAY: Portugal’s favourite way to pay for mobile top ups
If you live or work in Portugal, MB WAY needs no introduction. It’s the country’s most popular mobile payment solution, with over 2 million active users and a presence that goes well beyond online shopping: you can use it to pay in stores, make instant transfers between friends, withdraw cash at ATMs and pay bills — all from your phone, using your mobile number as your identifier.
For international top ups — which is exactly what we do at doctorSIM — MB WAY is a perfect fit. If you have family in Brazil, Angola, Mozambique or any other country covered by doctorSIM, you can now top up their phone or send them credit paying directly with MB WAY, no card or bank transfer needed. Fast, secure and with no extra fees for using the method.
How it works: at the last step of checkout, select MB WAY, enter your Portuguese mobile number linked to the account, and confirm the payment in the MB WAY app within seconds. No weird redirects. No waiting around.
All mobile top up payment methods available at doctorSIM
Amazon Pay, Satispay and MB WAY join a list that was already pretty generous. At doctorSIM we’ve spent years making sure “I don’t have a way to pay” is never a valid excuse. If you want the full breakdown, there are two useful references: the original article explaining how our secure payment methods work, and the updated page listing all currently available methods on our website.
To put it simply: at doctorSIM you can pay with credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Bizum, Revolut, cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and others), Paysafecard, bank transfer and — now also — Amazon Pay, Satispay and MB WAY. And the list keeps growing.
More mobile top up payment methods than any other platform: the comparison
We don’t want to brag, but… a little bit, yes. The truth is most international top up platforms stick to card and PayPal, and that’s it. At doctorSIM we believe having lots of payment options isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Some people don’t want to use a card. Some only have Bizum. Some prefer crypto. Some live in Portugal and use MB WAY for everything. Everyone deserves to top up without complications.
Here’s a quick comparison so you can see at a glance what we offer versus what’s typical in the industry:
| Payment method | doctorSIM | Typical industry platform |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | ✅ | ✅ |
| PayPal | ✅ | ✅ |
| Google Pay / Apple Pay | ✅ | ⚠️ Some only |
| Amazon Pay | ✅ NEW | ❌ |
| Satispay | ✅ NEW | ❌ |
| MB WAY | ✅ NEW | ❌ |
| Bizum | ✅ | ❌ |
| Revolut | ✅ | ❌ |

How to choose your mobile top up payment method at checkout
Whatever method you prefer, selecting it works exactly the same way across all top ups and gift cards at doctorSIM. You choose your payment method at the last step of checkout, just before confirming your purchase. Here’s how it goes:
- Choose the country, operator and top up amount (or the gift card you want to buy)
- Enter the recipient’s mobile number or gift card details
- At the last step you’ll see all payment methods available for your country and currency
- Select the one you prefer — card, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Satispay, MB WAY, crypto or any other available option
- Confirm the payment and you’re done: the top up reaches the destination number in seconds
Keep in mind that available methods may vary slightly depending on the country you’re buying from and the payment currency. Amazon Pay is available globally, Satispay for users in the euro zone, and MB WAY for users in Portugal. If your favourite method doesn’t show up, try another one — we have enough options that you’ll always find something that works. And if you’d like to set up a reminder so your balance never runs out, you can do that too from here. 😉
To sum it up: doctorSIM has just added Amazon Pay (global), Satispay (Europe) and MB WAY (Portugal) to its already wide range of mobile top up payment methods. Three additions built for three very specific user communities — and a clear sign that we keep expanding so no one is left without their preferred way to pay. 🚀
