Electronic recharge channels are done through online channels, banks, USSD channel, and network provider self-care portals. The airtime is top-up directly and added to customers airtime balance once payment has been validated. MTN electronic recharge channels were formerly called MTN VTU (virtual top-up) and later renamed to MTN EVD (electronic voucher distribution) which was again changed to MTN topit, the current name as at the time this article was written. Glo electronic recharge is known as e-topup and Airtel electronic recharge is known as ERC (easy recharge).

3. Airtime transfer

Airtime loaded through any of the channels described above can be shared or transfer to another customer within the network. Usually this form of airtime does not give the benefit, like recharge bonuses, of direct recharge through other channels.

4. Wallet top-up (VTU wallet)

Airtime or VTU vendors in Nigeria vend top-up directly from a SIM. The SIM is used to create a special top-up wallet that receives a special top-up for VTU dealers/agent. VTU or airtime recharge can then be vended directly to customers from the wallet as electronic recharge or VTU. You need to create a VTU wallet on your SIM to receive this type of airtime. You can create a wallet through a VTU dealer/agent in Nigeria.

5. Airtime bonuses

When mobile subscribers recharge their mobile phone with airtime through electronic channels like banks, VTU, topit, ERC or e-topup, network providers like MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile, depending on the tariff plan, usually award the customers different types of bonuses for every recharge made through these channels.
