Steps to Buy an Airtel Bundle for Another Number with M-Pesa

2. Select “Send Money”: Navigate to the “Send Money” option within the M-Pesa menu. This option is typically used for person-to-person transfers, but it works for sending airtime as well.

3. Enter Till Number: Instead of a phone number, enter Airtel’s Pay Bill number for airtime top-up, which is 220220.

4. Enter Account Number: In the account number field, enter “AIRT” followed by the recipient’s Airtel phone number (e.g., AIRT07XXXXXXXX).

5. Specify the Amount: Enter the exact amount corresponding to the Airtel bundle you want to purchase. Refer to the Airtel website (https://www.airtelkenya.com/) or app for bundle details and pricing.

6. Enter M-Pesa PIN: For security purposes, enter your M-Pesa PIN.

7. Confirm and Send: Double-check all the details (recipient’s account number, amount) before confirming the transaction. Once everything is correct, send the payment.

8. Receive Confirmation: You’ll receive an M-Pesa confirmation message indicating a successful transaction. The recipient’s Airtel phone number will be credited with the chosen bundle.

Additional Tips

• Save Airtel’s Pay Bill number (220220) for faster transactions in the future.
• Let the recipient know you’ve sent them a bundle so they can check their balance.

Remember

• You cannot directly send bundles with M-Pesa. You’ll be essentially topping up the recipient’s phone number with the equivalent amount needed for the desired bundle.
• The recipient can then use the credited airtime to purchase their preferred bundle through the Airtel website, app, or USSD code.

By following these steps, you can easily send the gift of connectivity to a friend or family member using your M-Pesa account.
