MTN has launched MoMo International Airtime, which allows users to purchase airtime for recipients in other countries. Registered MTN MoMo users will be able to access the service on the MoMo app or via the MoMo USSD menu by dialling *151#.
When customers buy airtime on MoMo, there will now be a third option called Global Airtime.
After a customer selects a country where the recipient resides, it will show all the operators available in each of those countries for which airtime can be purchased.
Users will be charged for the airtime in South African Rands from their MoMo wallet, and it will reflect in the relevant local currency in that specified country.
The purchase of airtime will only be permitted for recipients in the listed available countries along with available mobile operators in their respective countries.
The countries for which this service is available include:
Bangladesh
Burundi
Cameroon
Democratic Republic of Congo
Ethiopia
Ghana
Malawi
Nigeria
Pakistan
Senegal
Zimbabwe
MTN MoMo customers will receive a quote by providing the required information, which includes the country, mobile operator, recipient MSISDN, and airtime value.
