How to Register on *229#
How to Change Your PIN
Buying Electricity and Airtime
For prepaid electricity, register Zesco Prepaid once under Pay Bills by choosing Register a biller, entering your meter number and giving it a nickname. After that, pay a registered biller, enter the amount, pick the debit account and confirm. The token arrives by SMS.
For airtime, choose option 3, pick Airtel, MTN or Zamtel, then choose To Other Number if you are topping up someone else. Use once-off for a number you will not use again, or add a new beneficiary with a nickname of up to 20 characters.
CashSend Limits
CashSend lets you send cash to a receiver’s phone number. Enter the amount in multiples of K50, up to K4,000 per transaction, pick the account to debit, then create and confirm a 6-digit transaction PIN. The receiver gets an SMS voucher. Send the transaction PIN to them separately.
