Recharge is the word you want to use the the US. "Top-up" refers to having some left and you want to bring it to full. If you were driving a car and came to the last gas station before a desert expanse with half a tank of gas, you might wish to top-up your tank before proceding. I see there is a website called Topup which instantly adds minutes to a cellphone account though. Perhaps the Brits might have a different view of the two words.
