How I discovered “How to Convert Airtime to Cash and Purchase goods online using Airtime”.

I was beginning to place myself on the same level with ethical hackers back then in the early 2000 just because I could help my pals configure their Nokia Symbian phones so it could be able to browse some pages on the internet. I became popular. Everyone in the school became friends with me all because I configure these phones manually free of charge. Yea, I charge no dime.

Very normal for a student to lack or go pocket dry, but I satisfy people’s need and at some point, I felt it’s high time I started taking advantage of this my God given talent. Straight forward, I began charging 200hundred naira per phone configuration. Initially, this went smoothly not until students began to complain that the price is too high, this and that. But man must survive, I quickly devised another means, YOU WISH TO CONFIGURE YOUR PHONE, then transfer 100naira worth of airtime to my number and get your phone configured.

Wow, it was working. What nice idea, I was highly patronized because the students can easily afford airtime. I now make calls at will as my airtime balance became like that of a river that never runs dry. Reality befell on me when even with the tens of thousands of airtime in my phone, I still complained of hunger. This led me to seeking ways to convert this airtime to cash.

As a sharp guy, I started selling this airtime to recharge card vendors. I couldn’t cope with this because they insisted I sell to them at a 50% discount. Could you imagine? “No, I can’t be cheated”, this I said in my mind. This further led me to make more researches until I got to know a platform called Cheetahpay.

In the past, lots of platforms has promised heavens but later turned out to be scam at the end. I had all the reason to be skeptical about Cheetahpay also but since they were the only option left, I decided to give them a try. Guess what? it worked. Jus like a movie, I was now able to convert all my airtime to cash. Although they had their own charges, it was nothing compared to what the airtime vendors charged me. Everything was done online at the comfort of my home within minutes. Wow, to say the least, their services is fast, reliable with good customer care relations.

I further recommended an IT friend of mine to this platform. He used to encounter similar challenges but never knew it could be solved. To my greatest surprise, Cheetahpay offers more that just converting airtime to cash.

Cheetahpay has an Airtime plugin. This just works like other payment platform like PayPal, quickteller, vouguepay with a fantastic difference. Cheetahpay Airtime plugin primarily helps website owners to receive online payments and donations through their websites using airtime.

This development has helped to solve the problem of micro payment. You no longer need to expose your credit card details online just because you wish to purchase goods worth less than five hundred naira. All you need to do is log on to the website you wish to purchase from, input your airtime pin, submit and have your goods just within minutes.

So, I feel concerned website owners that will want to integrate Cheetahpay Api into their website in order to enjoy this service to visit www.cheetahpay.com.ng to get started.

As for me, I no longer configure phones not just because of the invent of androids but because I needed something bigger. I now own a website where people buy stuffs also, still enjoying the Airtime plugin. That’s how my journey of discovering how to convert airtime to cash went. I hope this article was useful.
