How to order

Select Airtel or TNM. Pick a kwacha amount. Type the number with +265 at the front. Malawian mobiles have nine digits after the code, for example +265 99x xxx xxx. Then pay by UK bank transfer, and we send the top-up after the money reaches our account.

Take care with

• The network: choose the one the number is on today.
• The line type: prepaid only.
• The digits: we cannot recover airtime sent to a wrong number.
• The amount: one item sends one value, so add a second item for more.
