In recent times, Telecom companies have different codes for recharging which means mobile phone users currently have different USSD codes for direct recharges from different banks and partners implying that subscribers are expected to memorize as many codes as possible, especially now that an average working adult has at least 2 bank accounts. That's tiresome right?

With this whole stress the whole idea of USSD to serve as a channel or medium of transaction designed to cater to; Convenience, Flexibility & Accessibility is almost defeated hence the need to introduce a platform that eases the purchase of airtime and consolidate all channels in one place. This is what Airtel has done, they developed 1 mobile channel that allows you recharge from multiple bank account by just dialing one code, *444#

At the end of the day all your transactions are bow AS EASY AS *444#, fantastic right?

Hmmm... All these guys are always releasing one product or the other. I like this one, that one can use *444# to buy data and recharge from any bank is quite seamless.

Not innovative if u ask me

Nice one, but then this is also a ussd code so of what advantage is it? , or are you saying this code can be used for all the transactions I would want to carry out from my TECNO phone with my bank account?

yeah you could say that, but I'd rather use infused, considering you don't have different ussd codes for different transactions but just one.

True, sometimes these codes can be really confusing, it's best if one code can just serve for all

Well I think the main advantage I see here is that you can use the same code for different banks, if not that the regular buying of airtime from my bank account is still way easier
