MTN Uganda Airtime Voucher

MTN Uganda in partnership with Pesapal have created a platform that lets you buy airtime online with a VISA or Master card. The Platform www.mtntopup.co.ug is simple and let’s you top up in 3 simple steps. The first step is to fill in your details like name, email, phone number and amount. The second step is to fill in your payment details and last is to confirm and complete the process. The issue however is that not so many people have access to VISA and MASTER cards not to mention that even if they did, they have better and easier options to access airtime than use the platform. This however doesn’t make the platform totally irrelevant it just means that it serves the needs of very few.
