Airtime to Cash

Convert airtime in the app

Converting airtime to cash happens in the AirtimeSpot app, so the airtime is sent safely from your own SIM. Download it to get started.

What you need

  • An Android phone running Android 8 or newer.
  • A Safaricom line with the airtime you want to sell.

  • Amounts from Ksh 10 to Ksh 10,000 per transaction.
