One of Kenyan business innovators’ concerns in the twenty-first century has been to find ways to connect Kenyan expatriate populations to possibilities in the country. This involves sending immediate airtime top-ups to mobile phones.
Kenyans in the diaspora, like any other family member or friend, are always seeking for methods to send money, presents, or even packages to their loved ones in Kenya, whether it’s for special occasions like birthdays or holidays like Easter.
Here is a list of websites where you can transfer Safaricom, Airtel, Orange, and Yu Mobile mobile phone airtime from the diaspora.
TelephoneKenya.com
KeepCalling, a US telecom provider, has partnered with Kenyan mobile providers to offer recharge services for Safaricom, Airtel, Yu, and Orange numbers, with payment options including Visa and Mastercard, Discover, and Paypal.
