KEY POINTS

Buying airtime for your Safaricom line is easy. You can either buy a scratch card or top up via M-Pesa. How about other service providers?

It is easier to buy airtime for your Safaricom line than for Airtel and Telkom. That is a fact.

For Safaricom, you can easily walk into any shop and top up using a scratch card or simply top up from your M-Pesa.

In fact, majority of Kenyans right now no longer buy scratch cards to load on their phones. They simply use M-Pesa.

Sometimes it is not a walk in the park to load up airtime to another service provider, such as Telkom or Airtel.

But did you know that you can buy airtime and data bundles directly from your M-Pesa account for your Airtel or Telkom line through a PayBill number?

There is no need of you walking out of your house or office to a shop to look for a scratch card. You can just load it up from M-Pesa.

Platforms such as Bundles Sasa have made this easy. So, how can you buy airtime for other networks through M-Pesa? Easy.

  • First, go to your M-PESA MENU
  • Go to Lipa Na M-Pesa
  • Select PayBill option
  • Input the PayBill number 600223
  • Input the telephone number to top up as your account number
  • Input the airtime amount
  • Input your M-Pesa Pin
  • Press okay.

You are DONE.

The airtime amount will be deducted from your M-Pesa and immediately airtime will be accredited to the number to bought for.

Why is this the most convenient way to top up? Easy. First, it saves time. You do not have to leave your house, office or your car to buy an airtime. Secondly, it is safe. With Covid-19, it minimizes your contact with surfaces, hard cash and other people. It is also fast and immediate.
