Kenya: Orange offers subscribers bonus airtime via MobileMoney

JULY 25,2014.

Kenyan telecommunications operator, Orange, has launched a promotion aimed at growing the usage of Orange Money by its wide subscriber base.

The promotion that runs till September 28 will see customers enjoy 25 percent airtime bonus once they top-up their airtime using Orange Money.

The campaign is meant to appreciate Orange Money account holders for their continued support. The bonus airtime applicable to Orange pre-paid customers can be used for on-net calls, text messages and data usage, with the minimum top-up amount being KSh10.

According to Mickael Ghossein, CEO, Orange Kenya, “Orange Money is rapidly being adopted by Kenyans in the payment of utility bills and purchase of goods and services across the country. We are continuously improving the mobile money platform to guarantee our customers of better services”.

The promo comes after Orange Money launched mobile to mobile money transfers between three different African countries, Mali, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire.

Orange Money International Transfer allows money to be sent and received securely via mobile phones. Users no longer need to have cash with them when they travel, and sending cash doesn’t have to be done by a third party.
