Crediting a plurality of cellular telephone accounts with allocated portions of airtime

摘要

A method of crediting cellular accounts with airtime comprising the steps of: allocating portions of a total amount of airtime to be distributed amongst a plurality of cellular accounts; exchanging funds (e-money) within a mobile telephone based money transfer system account for the total amount of airtime; and crediting the plurality of cellular accounts with the allocated portions of airtime. Therefore, multiple cellular telephone accounts or phones may be topped up or credited with airtime (service credit, credit, talk-time, SMS credit, data or other resources). The cellular account may be the cellphone itself. The mobile telephone based money transfer system account may be one operated by a company, business, Government, family or other organisation or any individual that administers or is responsible for several cellular accounts. The plurality of cellular accounts of phones may be credited with the determined portions of airtime simultaneously. The plurality of cellular accounts may be credited with different quantities of airtime.
