English term or phrase: airtime credit
"Have loaded airtime credit at a supermarket till"


It's a list of action taken in a text about mobile phone payments and those sorts of things -so this is all the context I have. They just mean putting credit into your phone through a message sent to your phone when you requested it (at a 7 eleven for example). I'm pretty sure we do not use the "airtime" idea in Spanish, but wonder if there is a more formal way of saying this than "poner crédito en el celular". Chas gracias.

Explanation:
I think "saldo" is enough for "airtime credit" because "saldo" is more specific than "credit" by itself

hacer una recarga/recargar el celular


Explanation:
En España usamos mucho "hacer una recarga (de dinero)" para el móvil, o directamente "recargar el móvil". Es un término que se usa tanto coloquialmente como formalmente.
