Quick answer
USDT TRC-20 funds AfricaProxies African proxy accounts through a prepaid balance. As of 15 October 2026, the minimum top-up is $25 and a 1 GB plan costs $1.23. Match the invoice’s Tron network and exact amount, click “I’ve sent the payment”, and await confirmed credit. Check exit availability and payment eligibility before sending.
Should I choose TRC-20 or ERC-20 when buying African proxies?
As of October 2026, AfricaProxies residential proxies accept USDT on the invoice network, including TRC-20 on Tron. Fund at least $25, send the exact invoiced amount and click “I’ve sent the payment”. Wait for confirmed credit before buying 1 GB for $1.23; TRC-20 and ERC-20 are different networks.

What should I inspect on the invoice?
Inspect the token, network, receiving address, amount and quote expiry on the current payment screen. USDT TRC-20 and USDT ERC-20 are separate routes. Never reuse a receiving address from a previous invoice or a support message; use the address displayed for the current order.
How do I check a USDT TRC-20 top-up?
Save account access
Store the account number and consider an optional recovery email.
Choose the invoice network
Select USDT TRC-20; read the current amount and expiry.
Inspect the sending wallet
Confirm Tron/TRC-20 and the actual withdrawal fee.
Submit and preserve evidence
Send the quoted transfer, retain its transaction ID and follow the payment screen.
Why is a network fee not a product price?
A wallet or exchange may charge for a withdrawal in addition to the transfer amount. That fee does not buy proxy traffic and does not increase account balance. Read the sender’s final transfer preview. We do not publish a universal low-fee number because the fee depends on the sending service and current network conditions.
What if the transfer appears on-chain but not in the account?
Wait for the confirmations specified by the payment screen, then contact support if the invoice still needs attention. Include the invoice reference, token, network, amount and transaction ID. Do not include the account number, password or API key. Do not send a second payment simply to make the first one appear.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use ERC-20 for a TRC-20 invoice?
No. A TRC-20 invoice must be paid on the Tron network specified by that invoice; an ERC-20 transfer does not satisfy it. Check the token, chain, destination and amount together before authorising the transfer. The same USDT ticker in a wallet or exchange can appear on different networks.
Do you promise a fixed network fee?
No fixed network fee is promised. The sending wallet or exchange quotes its fee, which is separate from the proxy package price and amount credited. Review the displayed charge before confirming a transfer for your African project, and do not infer a guaranteed fee from the TRC-20 label alone.
What is the smallest top-up?
The current minimum top-up is $25. A 1 GB residential plan at $1.23 is a purchase from the account balance, rather than a smaller deposit option. For an initial Kenya or Ghana test, calculate the transfer amount and package allocation separately before sending USDT.
Can I pay from a country with crypto restrictions?
Do not proceed solely because the service accepts USDT. Payment permission depends on the rules applicable to you and your organisation. Check the relevant jurisdiction and the dated rules index, including its evidence gaps. An African exit location and the location from which a payment is made are different facts.
Is there an ID upload?
No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. The document policy covers account opening, top-ups and plan purchases, including a supported USDT transfer. It does not remove service terms, sanctions duties or the target's permissions. An agency still needs authority for its African QA project and must protect the account login and proxy credentials.
What happens to unspent account balance?
Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. Balance retention is separate from a residential traffic package's unused GB or a dedicated port's duration. Allocate the amount needed for your African test without assuming an unused deposit is a wallet refund, and read the product credit rules before spending the package.
