Update Airtime-Online using Mobile Money
Already, using our GiftBox service, you could send transfer money from your credit card/paypal account to the mobile phones of your family and friends. This service has gained popularity outside Africa, where use of credit cards and paypal accounts are the norm.
But what about those in Africa? Well, we’ve been working on a series of services that will allow you to use your mobile phone to pay for goods and services, and today we’re glad to announce the first phase of this roll-out:
If you have a Beyonic Web-services account, you can now update your account credit from your mobile phone!
Read on to find out how …
This allows existing users of our Airtime-Online service to update their accounts instantly, providing faster access to Airtime-Online items.
How it works
For a start, this service is only available on MTN Uganda, using MTN Mobile Money.
Step 1: Configure Your Mobile Number.
First you’ll have to let us know what your mobile number is. You can do this by logging into your Beyonic services account and going to SETTINGS > My Settings. Enter a telephone number and pin of your choice, and save them.
Step 2: Send your money!
You’re now ready to update your account! Just send mobile money from your mobile number (configured above) to 0785902565.
That’s it! If the transaction is successful, you will receive an SMS telling you that your account has been updated.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
