Recently without missing words, Network providers in Nigeria have done a great job by allowing customers borrow airtime whenever they are out of Airtime or low in credit, but I am strongly of the conviction that letting their customers recharge directly from their mobile phones without moving an inch whatsoever like going to the ATM is something amazing.
Without any atom of doubt i must admit, there seem amazing, all the same- surely you might have some money in your bank account probably budgeted, but you also have some extra change on top of your budget which you could use to make your recharge for calls.
Kindly relax, I’ll show you how to recharge from your bank while you are at home or even stranded, currently this method of recharch with my GTB bank through mobile phone has been the best.
