How to Convert Airtime To Mobile Money
This has not happened to me before, but I know a couple of friends who mistakenly buy huge airtime: for instance, buying GHC 50 airtime instead of GHC 5 airtime which you don’t need.
Some people, also at times, send airtime to people instead of money. That is a waste of money because you have to send the money to the person again.
Thanks to MTN mobile money for bringing this new initiative that allows MTN mobile money users to reverse airtime to mobile money.
