Buying Recharge Cards Online

Is there a service in which you can purchase recharge card e.g mtn, intercellular, vmobile and the rest of them online with a credit card or some sort of instant payment option. I am just a little curious.

Re: Buying Recharge Cards Online

ShopForLess sells recharge cards, but I think you have to pay by bank deposit.  Flash me Cash by First Atlantic bank seems to allow the purchase of recharge cards via SMS, but you need to open an account with them!  AYA, I believe, has a lot of experience with FlashMeCash.

KTandDtStores also allows you to buy recharge cards online and pay with a credit/debit card via paypal which I think is neat, but they said they are out of cards, which ... I reserve my comments.  I am in no way affiliated with them.

How did you discover KTandDtStores?  I'm just curious; how come you needed to ask the original question if you know about KTandDtStores?

Re: Buying Recharge Cards Online

I was actually looking at a Guardian newspaper dated 4th of January today and there was an article about them.  I clicked on the site and just browsed through, but I did not know about them before posting the question. 

Just curious, sounds like I am on trial without being Wabara or Osuji, but frankly speaking I did not know about the site prior to the post and that is the plain truth.

Re: Buying Recharge Cards Online

Hmm.. you know one thing with buying cards normally? In a few 'rare' cases, you find out that the card is invalid or has been used.  Is there a possibility of getting such card online? And if you find out that the pin is invalid what do you do?

My cousin once bought an invalid Glo voucher.  When he called customer service, they asked for the serial number and all was sorted out. Could such problems be rectified online?

Re: Buying Recharge Cards Online

If you buy a card online (I'm purely second-guessing here), should such service become available, I would like to think that it's done in such a way that the pin and serial numbers are computer generated there and then, should there be any problem with it, just as your cousin did domino, simply call customer service and have it rectified.

I would prefer that to buying on the road actually, or at least I’d consider it safer. Cases of invalid cards purchased by the roadside have been reported more than once.

Re: Buying Recharge Cards Online

But a product like Glo M-Banking that allows deduction of the money from my account is really neat. It is like a contract package without the lower tariffs.
