Buying airtime online

[pkid]

Does anybody know where I can buy Virgin airtime online using my credit card? Standard bank doesn't seem to allow you to recharge your Virgin Mobile account using their Internet banking and My Vzone is still nowhere to be seen months after it was supposed to be ready. I am so sick and tired of having to run to the ATM every Saturday to get more airtime!

i use my cellphone to charge it, i'm with absa....

...it works but it takes forever

I use FNB cellphone banking

just dial *120*321# @ no charge and follow the prompts
I registered online to use this free service

Edit: does not take forever for me, its instant

Don't know about Standard bank

i set up my credit card with the 123 call centre

and now i just use the ussd (??) code to load airtime - its instant

Bit disappointed that Standard Bank does not offer airtime from Virgin via the internet banking. This would have made it so much easier as I deduct it as a business expense from company account.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that although Standard Bank don't have Virgin recharges on their internet banking you can recharge the number by calling 11333 (using your card number and CSP) from any vodacom number. The recharge will then reflect on your bank statement with your Virgin number.

So how does this work then ?

Who is facilitating this service ?

Is 11333 some premium number of sorts ?

11333 is probably a free number (not sure), it probably belongs to a company called cointel so they the same company that facilitate airtime purchases via credit card when calling the vodacom recharge no. ie,100
