Are you wondering how you can sambaza Safaricom credit or airtime or internet bundles from one another to another Safaricom number?
Well, in this post I will show exactly how to do that in 5 simple ways.
One simple way is using USSD codes, another way is using the Safaricom toolkit menu or directly through the Safaricom app.
However, you can also sambaza safaricom credit by sending a written text message with the amount and the recipient’s number to the shortcode 140.
Also, remember to write the message in the format ( amount# recipient’s number) for example if the number is 0700000289, its format will be as follows Kes 40(amount)#0700000289 to 140 and click “ok” or “send”
Sambaza airtime is a service that allows its users to transfer or share their airtime and internet bundles with other users.
However, one can only send or share their amount starting from Kes 5 to Kes 10,000 as the maximum airtime transfer in a day.
Also, keep in mind that after sending your airtime to another subscriber you cannot reverse that amount. So it’s always important to copy the right number.
