Airtel: service presentation
Airtel is an Indian telecommunications company that operates in 17 countries across the world and mostly in Africa.
Many of the phones on the Airtel network are prepaid mobiles. That means users have to buy airtime, also known as talk-time or mobile credit, before they can make calls, send texts and use their data.
Airtime for Airtel phones is usually topped up using a pin number or a scratch card which can be bought in local shops, but that’s not always convenient.
Airtel offers to receive money on an Airtel Money wallet directly (without having a bank account).
Airtel Money is a secure electronic service that enables Airtel Money wallet holders to store funds, send and receive money, make payments and do a number of other transactions simply using their mobile phone.
Money is added instantly to Airtel Money accounts. You only need to make sure that the recipient already has an Airtel Money account. You will need the recipient's Mobile Money number.
Transfers to a mobile wallet are usually instantaneous, day or night. The recipient of the transfer does not need to travel to receive it.

How to convert Airtel Airtime to Airtel Money?
A question on Airtel users minds, especially those who use the mobile money services, is can airtime be converted to cash? Airtel does not have the feature that allows you to convert airtime back to cash on your mobile money.
They, however, offer other options for reversal like that of erroneous purchase of airtime for a different number. If you accidentally buy airtime for another number, all you need to do is contact customer care on any of their available platforms such as social media pages or by dialling 100 on your Airtel line.
