Alright, I get it. I know how it feels like to have a huge amount of airtime on your account and it’s useless (Not the call type).
It’s not a big deal, we at NetworkPalava (NP) don’t connect through calls too. I prefer browsing the internet, sending E-mails, and as well connect with friends and family on my favorite social media platform.
Are you among those asking for the code to browse with airtime on Airtel? This is the best guide you’ve been waiting for.
The “Browse With Airtime” Plan
It’s the Airtel Pay As You Use (PAYU) service that allows you to browse the internet with no active data bundle on your line. You browse with credit in this case. Yeah, all the time you spend online will be deducted from your account at the rate of 3 naira per MB (that is, N3=MB).
Benefits Of Airtel PAYU Service
Here are the common benefits of the airtel “Pay As You Use” service.
- You don’t have to subscribe to any data plan on Airtel (no active data bundle is needed).
- You gain the freedom to browse with your airtime at N3/MB.
- Once your existing data bundle is exhausted, you can continue to browse the internet without worries.
- This plan helps you reduce unknown charges or high data consumption.
- You get to know how much you spend online.
- The risk of losing data is low in this case.
The Airtel PAYU can also be called PAYG which means “Pay As You Go” on other related Networks. It permits you to use money to browse on Airtel. (So all the same)
