For the imo.im messenger (IMO Live, VoiceClub & voice rooms)
IMO Diamonds are imo's in-app currency for voice-room and IMO Live gifts, SVIP status and imo Out calls. The quickest way to stock up is an IMO diamond recharge on BitTopup: enter your IMO mobile number with country code, pick a 100–5,000 diamond pack, pay, and diamonds arrive within minutes.
Voice parties are where most diamonds get spent: big gifts like this sports car play full-screen for the whole room. Source: official imo screenshot on Google Play (listing updated Oct 28, 2026).

The official diamond ladder & how much $1 really buys
Inside the app, imo sells five core packs. The ladder is the same in every App Store region: 42, 210, 420, 2,100 and 8,400 diamonds.
| In-app pack | India (₹) | Saudi Arabia (SAR) | UAE (AED) | Pakistan (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42 diamonds | 99 | 4.99 | 2.99 | 300 |
| 210 diamonds | 499 | 19.99 | 19.99 | 1,300 |
| 420 diamonds | 999 | 39.99 | 39.99 | 2,900 |
| 2,100 diamonds | 4,999 | 199.99 | 199.99 | 12,900 |
| 8,400 diamonds | — | 899.99 | 799.99 | 49,900 |
Now line that up against BitTopup's ladder. Every BitTopup pack works out to the same flat rate, so small packs aren't penalised.
| BitTopup pack | Price (USD) | Per 100 diamonds | Diamonds per $1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 diamonds | $1.72 | $1.72 | 58.1 |
| 200 diamonds | $3.43 | $1.72 | 58.3 |
| 500 diamonds | $8.59 | $1.72 | 58.2 |
| 1,000 diamonds | $17.17 | $1.72 | 58.2 |
| 2,000 diamonds | $34.34 | $1.72 | 58.2 |
| 5,000 diamonds | $85.85 | $1.72 | 58.2 |
BitTopup gives 58 diamonds per $1, compared with 38–55 on the in-app App Store across five regions. Original graphic, data from the bittopup.com product page and Apple App Store listings (IN, DE, PH, SA, AE), Nov 1, 2026.
Look at the mid-size pack most gifters buy and the gap gets bigger:
About 2,000 diamonds: $34.34 on BitTopup vs $46.94–$66.99 for the 2,100 pack in-app. Original graphic, data from bittopup.com and Apple App Store listings, Nov 1, 2026.
| In-app tier | App Store per 100 diamonds (5 regions) | BitTopup per 100 | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 | $1.83 – $3.17 | $1.72 | 6% – 46% |
| 210 | $2.24 – $3.19 | $1.72 | 23% – 46% |
| 420 | $2.24 – $2.66 | $1.72 | 23% – 35% |
| 2,100 | $2.24 – $3.19 | $1.72 | 23% – 46% |
| 8,400 | $2.43 – $3.06 | $1.72 | 29% – 44% |
Veteran's take BitTopup came out ahead on every single tier we lined up, all 48 pack-by-pack comparisons. On most tiers you keep roughly a quarter to a third of your money for more gifts.

IMO Live & voice-room gifting: what gifts cost
Voice rooms let you send and receive gifts, and that's the heart of imo's social side. Channels in VoiceClub even host talent shows, talk shows, competitions, games and ceremonies, which is when the big gifts fly.
imo doesn't publish one master gift price list, but after a few years in rooms the price ranges are very consistent:
| Gift / item | Typical cost (diamonds) | When I use it |
|---|---|---|
| Heart | 1 | Quick "I'm here" tap |
| Entry live gift (per send) | 10 | Saying hi to a host, tipping a good song |
| Video filters | 20 – 150 | Calls and live video fun |
| Lucky Crystals | 50 – 100 | Room games and lucky moments |
| Themes | 50 – 200 | Personalising chats and rooms |
| Animated frames | 100 – 500 | Standing out on the mic seats |
| Event-exclusive frame / filter | 150 / 120 | Limited event looks |
| Full profile customisation | 200 – 700 | A complete profile makeover |
| Top-end gift (per send) | Up to 1,000 | Full-screen effects for big moments and PKs |

IMO SVIP levels: SVIP1–SVIP10 monthly targets
SVIP is imo's privilege system for heavy supporters. The in-app rules explain it plainly: your SVIP level depends on how many black diamonds you recharge this month, and it shows up immediately once you hit the target.
Each level also hands you SVIP points, which you redeem for SVIP props, recharge discounts and other privileges.

| Level | Monthly black-diamond recharge | SVIP points (level) | Total SVIP points | Equals 5,000-diamond packs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SVIP1 | 10,000 | 200 | 200 | 2 |
| SVIP2 | 20,000 | 200 | 400 | 4 |

What SVIP gets you
- SVIP Points Store: spend your points on SVIP props and recharge discounts.
- Super Voice & SVIP Channel: stand out in rooms.
- Anti Kick & KickOut: more control in busy rooms.
- Customized Gift: a gift that's yours.
- Diamond games in Bangladesh: imo's help center notes they're open to SVIP users there.

What to buy first: spending priorities by player type
The biggest mistake I see is people spending without a plan. Pick the row that sounds like you.
| Player type | Monthly diamonds | Spend on first | Best BitTopup pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Chatter & listener | Up to ~500 | Free diamonds & daily tasks first, then 10-diamond entry gifts and a theme | 100 or 500 |
| Mid Room regular | 1,000 – 2,000 | Steady entry gifts for your favourite hosts, an animated frame, the odd 1,000-diamond moment | 1,000 or 2,000 |
| Heavy Top supporter | 10,000+ | Group your recharges inside one calendar month to land an SVIP level, then big gifts in events and PKs | 5,000 (stack 2 for SVIP1) |
Pro tip for heavy spenders SVIP counts your recharge within the current month. Two 5,000-diamond packs in the same month reach the 10,000 needed for SVIP1. The same 10,000 spread over two months won't get you there.
Don't mix up diamonds and Premium. Premium is a subscription for no ads, 25 GB of cloud storage, a 30-day profile-visitor history, a VIP badge, caller tunes, a Premium Rebate and a Gifts Package. It doesn't replace diamonds for gifting.

Your monthly diamond rhythm
imo doesn't run on a fixed public calendar. In-app events are announced inside Voice and Live. What does repeat is this rhythm:
| When | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Every day | Open the User Task center and the Check-in Gift Collection; claim rewards | Free gifts and progress without spending |
| Every day | Profile → imo Voice → My Diamonds → Free Diamonds: watch video ads, view 4 friends' stories | Free diamonds to top up small gifts |
| Start of each month | Decide your SVIP goal and plan your packs | SVIP is measured on this month's recharge |
| Through the month | Stay active and gift in Live/VoiceClub | Diamond games (Fisher, Delicious, Yummy) open automatically for accounts that are active and spending over 30 days |
| Before a big room event | Top up on BitTopup so the diamonds are ready | Delivery in minutes, so you're never caught short |

Smooth-delivery checklist
Follow this and your diamonds land where they should, every time.
Your chats stay yours: a number-only recharge never touches your messages. Source: official imo screenshot on Google Play (listing updated Oct 28, 2026).
- Use the number linked to your imo account, with its country code.
- Drop the leading 0 once you add the country code. Example: UK 07123456789 becomes +447123456789.
- Check your order email and order status on BitTopup after paying.
- Keep your order record (order ID and receipt). It makes any support chat a 30-second job.
- Refresh the wallet: Me → imo Wallet, swipe down. Restarting the app helps too.
- Watch the status move from "recharging" to "recharged". That's your confirmation.
- Place one order and let it finish before starting the next.
- Message 24/7 support with your order ID if you typed a digit wrong, so they can help before processing completes.
The finish line: your new total in imo Wallet. Still: TECHNICAL SAEED (YouTube, Nov 23, 2022), 3:56.
FAQ: the 10 IMO diamond questions players ask most
1. My balance says "Recharging". What now?
That status means the order is going through, and it flips to "recharged" once the diamonds land. BitTopup orders typically complete within a few minutes.
Swipe down in imo Wallet to refresh, restart the app, and check your order status on BitTopup. Still waiting? Message 24/7 support with your order ID. For in-app store purchases, imo's help center lists processing of up to 3 working days. Its support asks for the payment method, date and time, a receipt screenshot, your number with country code and the order number from imo Wallet.
2. I bought Noble but it isn't showing on my profile.
Open Me → imo Wallet and tap Noble in the Service menu. Your rank lives there. Update to the newest build (Android 2026.09.1051 / iOS 2026.10.2) and restart, because profile badges refresh with the app.
Also make sure you're logged into the same account that made the purchase. If it still isn't there, send in-app feedback with your order number.
3. JazzCash, Easypaisa, bKash or Nagad isn't showing in the app. How do I pay?
Use BitTopup's payment methods instead: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard and popular local methods, plus e-wallets. You only need your number.
Good to know: inside the app, imo opens the Nagad channel once you've recharged more than 2,000 diamonds in the last 6 months.
4. Phone number or IMO ID: which one do I enter?
On BitTopup, enter your registered mobile number with the international country code and no leading 0. imo's own recharge page also offers both "Phone" and "imo ID" tabs, so the phone number is a standard way to identify your account.
5. I live in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman or Qatar. Can I recharge?
Yes. BitTopup works off your number, so you just enter it with your country code (for example +966 Saudi Arabia, +971 UAE) and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. In-app prices vary by country. In the App Store, 2,100 diamonds are SAR 199.99 and AED 199.99, while BitTopup's 2,000 pack is $34.34.
6. Can I recharge diamonds for a friend or family member?
Easily. Enter their registered imo number with country code on BitTopup and the diamonds go straight to their account. Diamonds stay on the account they're delivered to, so confirm the number with them first.
In the app itself, "Recharge for other account" opens once your account is over 15 days old and has recharged more than 10 diamonds.
7. Beans vs diamonds: what's the difference?
Diamonds are what you buy and spend. Beans are what broadcasters collect when they receive gifts, and hosts can redeem them for real-world income. Your own diamonds are for spending in imo. Under imo's Terms they aren't exchanged for cash, so buy what you plan to use.
8. Do I keep SVIP if I stop recharging?
SVIP is based on your black-diamond recharge in the current month, and your level shows as soon as you hit the target. To hold a level, reach its target again each calendar month. SVIP1 needs 10,000 and SVIP10 needs 800,000.
9. Premium or diamonds: which do I need? And why do I still see ads?
Premium gives you no ads, 25 GB of cloud storage, 30-day profile visitors, a VIP badge, caller tunes, a Premium Rebate and a Gifts Package. Diamonds pay for gifts, SVIP and imo Out. App Store Premium is ₹79 / ₹869 in India and SAR 3.99 / 42.99 in Saudi Arabia.
Still seeing ads after subscribing? Make sure the Google/Apple account matches and that you subscribed in the same imo app. A VIP badge on your profile means it's active. For the full breakdown, see whether IMO Premium is worth it vs diamonds.
10. The gift button is missing or says "current version doesn't support this function".
That message is imo asking you to update. Install the latest build (Android 2026.09.1051, iOS 2026.10.2), reopen the room, and the gift panel comes back.
Diamond games like Fisher, Delicious and Yummy open automatically for accounts that are active and spend in Live/VoiceClub over 30 days. In Bangladesh they're for SVIP users.
Ready for tonight's room? Pick your pack, enter your number with country code, and your diamonds are typically in your imo Wallet within minutes, at about 58 diamonds per $1.
