Like several other network operators, MTN has an avenue for
subscribers to share their airtime with their beloved ones such as friends and
relatives. Undoubtedly, this service comes as a great advantage in case your
account is funded heavily and you feel you could help some people –probably
your friends who are in extreme need of airtime.

allowed to share out of his/her surplus airtime with any other MTN subscriber.

the difficulties you might bear in the event of purchasing a voucher and
sending the recharge PIN to your recipient in form of a text message. In likely
situations, your recipient might complain about receiving the wrong PIN and as
regards this, you would have to re-send the PIN.
