Send airtime in 4 steps
1
Check your balance first with *131#, so you know the amount is there.
2
Type the code above, with the recipient’s full MTN number and the amount in RWF.
3
Press call and read the confirmation on the screen.
4
Wait for the SMS on your phone, and ask the receiver to confirm theirs.
Before you press call
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The number | A wrong digit sends your airtime to a stranger, and it cannot be taken back |
| The network | Me2U is for MTN numbers |
| The amount | Type the figure in RWF, with no letters or spaces |
| Your balance | The amount must be available in your airtime |
What the transfer does and does not do
- It moves airtime from your balance to theirs.
- It is not a data transfer. For data, buy a bundle for them from the bundle menu.
- It does not move MoMo money. For that, use your MoMo wallet.
If it fails
- Retype the code carefully, with every star and the hash.
- Check that you have enough airtime.
- Make sure the number is an active MTN line.
- Wait a minute and try again, since USSD can time out.
- Call 100 with the time, the number and the amount if money left your balance.
Stay safe
Never send airtime to a stranger who says they are in trouble, or who promises a bonus or a refund. Confirm by calling the person yourself.
A good habit
Send a small amount first if you are not sure of the number. Once the person confirms, send the rest. A small test costs little and protects you from a typing slip.
Tip: Save the recipient’s number in your contacts, and copy it from there into the code.
Is there a limit?
The amount must be available in your balance. If you need to send a lot, split it into steps.
Can I reverse a transfer?
Treat it as final. Contact customer care at once if you made a mistake.
Does it cost extra?
The confirmation screen shows any charge before you accept.
