Cellphone recharging method and device

An embodiment of the invention provides a cellphone recharging method and device. The method includes the steps: a recharging server receives a passive recharge request message which a to-be-recharged terminal sends out and records an identifier message of the to-be-recharged terminal; the recharging server transmits the identifier message of the to-be-recharged terminal and target amount to the charging terminal; a recharging terminal confirms the message and the target amount and sends out a password of a recharge card; the recharging server transmits the identifier message of the to-be-recharged terminal and the password of the recharge card to a database server; the database server recharges the to-be-recharged terminal. According to the embodiment, the recharging terminal just needs to transmit the password of the recharge card to the recharging server, the recharging server transmits the recorded identifier message of the to-be-recharged terminal and the recorded password of the recharge card to the database server, and the database server recharges the to-be-recharged terminal; the recharging terminal need not transmit the identifier message of the to-be-recharged terminal, the problem that an incorrect account is recharged with the recharge card is avoided, recharging success rate of a phone card is increased, and property loss is avoided for users.
