Finally, Cellphone Banking with 8ta and FNB

[MiY4Gi]

So I noticed this morning that I can finally purchase airtime and do banking (with FNB) on my 8ta cellphone.

Dial *120*321*MOPIN# to do cellphone banking. Service charged at 20c per minute (I think).

Dial *130*321*MOPIN# to purchase airtime. Free service.

This is awesome! I was freaking annoyed that the only way for me to buy airtime was to buy a voucher, now I can buy my airtime right from my phone, just like I used to when I was with Vodacom and Cell C.

Good shot 8ta! Took you long enough.

Well done to 8ta.
Last week www.8time.co.za launched a mechanism to buy 8ta airtime online. Applicable for all major SA banks.

Ya, it was about time for 8ta to join the "pin-less" online crowd.
Sounds like 8ta is making their way forward.
