How To Buy Airtime Through SMS In Cameroon When Offline

It is now possible to buy airtime for any telephone network in Cameroon, whether CAMTEL, NEXTTEL, Orange, or MTN, by sending a simple SMS to the Switchn service.

Here are the phone numbers you can send the SMS to:

• 679385415 – MTN
•  655154248 – Orange.

Click on the numbers to save in your contacts. Example messages are:

• send 1000 to 6xxxxxxxx, where 1000 is the airtime amount and 6XXXXXXXX is the airtime receiver’s phone number. Here, a Mobile Money or Orange Money payment request will be sent to the phone number that sends the SMS. If you would like to pay with another number, see next.

• send 1000 to 6XXXXXXXX from 6XXXXXXXX. Here, to 6XXXXXXXX means send the airtime to the specified number and from 6XXXXXXXX means payment will be made by the specified number.

• send 1000. This is an even shorter SMS format to buy airtime for your number. Payment will be made by your number (which sends the SMS).

Note that this process is fully automated. We help you correct any mistake(s) in the sent message by sending detected errors as an SMS response.
