But before
we move on, permit me to take a little bit of your precious time as this
article is a kind of lengthy one.
The process
required two systems to connect and communicate. Your network provider is
totally an independent company and the app needed to carry out the converting
is another company on its own.
Therefore,
your airtime transfer PIN is required to access your airtime balance in
whichever network provider you’re on.
So first, I
will teach you how to get your airtime/data transfer PIN from your network
providing company.
How to
change airtime and data transfer PIN
Every active
SIM card has a default airtime transfer PIN, but it is recommended you change
it because if anyone who knows the airtime PIN transfer process can easily get
someone phone and transfer all the airtime out.
