Why you need to recharge

Isn’t it obvious why we need to recharge? Well, let’s just list a few reasons why we need to recharge.

You need airtime to access data service. In other words, for you to be able to browse, you need to purchase data. Who do you purchase data? By recharging your phones with airtime, and using the airtime to purchase data of your choice. It doesn’t matter what network provider you are using, you will still need to recharge to access data service.
To make voice calls. This the most important of all reason. Everyone makes calls, be it personal calls, business calls, or whatever, we still have to make calls. Airtime is what makes it possible. Airtime is like the fuel of your sim card, we all know that without the fuel your car wouldn’t move except it uses water or it rechargeable. This applies to sim cards, without airtime you can barely do anything except to receive.
Do you want to send text messages? You need airtime. While it’s true that some networks give you free SMS, you still have to recharge in most cases.
You also need airtime to subscribe for other value-added services, like caller tones, daily news update and lots more.

The importance of recharging cannot be overemphasized, it is vital to the daily use of our phones.

Tell them what happened while you were trying to scratch off the silver surface, they will request for the serial number of the recharge card. Call out this number to them, if the number is correct, they will recharge your line directly from their system.
