HOW TO BUY RECHARGE CARD PINS ANYWHERE,ANYTIME WITH YOUR PHONE

Yes, the title says it all. I guess you wonder how possible this is but thanks to Goattale Ltd. You can really start buying your recharge pins with extremem convenience in the next 15 minutes in just 3 really easy steps – more or less free of charge.  But first the following will be required to get started – an ATM card (don’t worry you won’t be buying the recharge pins online), a NetNaira account (you also need not worry - it’s free to get one) and a phone (if you don’t have a phone then you should not be reading this).
If you do not have one (or more) of the items listed above, go and get it right away before you proceed further.

Step 1:
Get a NetNaira PERSONAL account by signing up on https://www.netnaira.com/signup.asp. As I said earlier on, it is free to register. Make sure you use your mobile phone during the registration process – this will be the phone you will be using for your pin purchases. NetNaira is actually the electronic wallet you’ll be spending from.  I have been using it for over 2 years now and I say it is really reliable.

Step 2:
Load your NetNaira account with at least N50 using your ATM card. I suggest you load up to N210 as you will be purchasing your first recharge pin with this i.e.  you are not charged for any step, I guess Goattale only wants to make sure you are serious.

Step 3:
Activate your phone. As I said, this is also almost free (you will be charge for the SMS response - N5 only at the time of this writing). All you need do is send the following text message to 08064024062
Activate
Replace with the account number you were sent when you signed up on NetNaira.com e.g.
Activate 1003p
You will instantly be sent a 4 digit mobile security pin. You will be using this pin for every transaction so memorise it.
That’s all – start buying.

How to buy
To buy a N100 MTN recharge pin, all you need do is use the activated phone to send the following message to the same number (08064024062)
                Buy mtn100 pinng
Mtn100 refers to the product code for N100 mtn recharge
pinng is actually the store code for the NetNaira merchant pinnigeria.com
replace with the actual security pin netnaira sent to your phone
e.g.         buy mtn100 pinng 2342
    or
buy  glo150 pinng 2342
The product codes for the various networks look like this
Multilinks - ML e.g. ML200
Zain – ZAIN e.g. ZAIN200
Zoom – ZOOM e.g. ZOOM200

The secrete to this is loading your NetNaira account with some fund. This fund could come in handy if you get stranded (I call this my emergency pin).
Confirming the actual price of a recharge pin before you make a purchase:
You can do this by sending “PRICE mtn200 pinng ” to 08064024062
 
Confirming your NetNaira balance with your phone
You can do this by sending “balance” to 08064024062
Changing your security pin:
You can do this by sending “CHANGEPIN ” to 08064024062
e.g. CHANGEPIN 2342 4343 4343
Please take note that you MAY be charged for SMS messages sent to your phone
