I did not like to buy recharge cards online because I believed that recharge card sellers should not be put out of business, but they too should understand that they should not carry their goodwill too far. The day I was told by a regular supplier that I had to pay N1040 for each N1000 MTN card I wanted to buy was the day I started buying online, and not only MTN either. His loss, no extra cost to myself.

Alternately, we advise our customers to explore other options of purchasing airtime such as MTN Virtual Top Up (VTU), Diamond Yello Account (DYA), or MTN Auto Top-Up for more information on these please visit www.mtnonline.com/autotopup

I think they should resolve this issue by warning the retailers because you can't tell any retailer to sell recharge card contrary to their will.

What do you have to say about this?
I once sold recharge card, how can u expect someone to buy one voucher at 980# and sell it at 100# is not possible. it used to be 950# MTN pushed the price to 980 and expect the retailers to sell it 100# . Mba noooooo is not possible..

MTN has no hand in this that's why they reacted over it yesterday.

So bad for two categories of people , those that can not do without mtn and those who don't do mobile banking . Its so unfortunate for mtn to come out and say the increment is not from them to prove they are not telling the truth they would have declared an arrest to anyone who sales on that amount to spoil thier business

The fault is not with the retailers but bulk sellers and and those who print N100 and N200 recharge cards. Imagine retailers paying N99/N100 for mtn N100 recharge card! If we're to be realistic, there won't be anything left for them as profit.

Actually, retailers were buying it at N970 and they didn't complain until recent hike of around N990/N1000.

What's quickteller for



I don't even buy recharge cards


Been long I did that

I remember a thread some time back about the dearth of small businesses due to quick teller and the likes.

The op asked that for the sake of small hustles we should patronize recharge card sellers instead of mobile or quick teller. I felt hisbpoont of view and decided to walk all the way to a card seller only to be told that #20 has been added to the amount.

I just brought out the phone and purchased online and walked away.

If they like they should add 50# I won't leave where I am again to buy credit.
