Telenor advises “How to Top Up your Airtime” at home due to Coronavirus

As we experience a nationwide lockdown, and suspension of activities to curtail the spread of COVID-19, most financial transactions have gone online. Telecom customers of all the networks have a number of channels through which they can top-up their mobile balances. Here’s a list:

Easypaisa

In light of the recent turn of events, social distancing and self-isolation are being regarded as the most effective deterrents for countering the spread of Coronavirus. Mobile financial solutions like Easypaisa are providing ease for users to ‘Stay Home’ and keep themselves safe.

Here are steps on how you can top-up your mobile balance (for any network) using the Easypaisa app:

• Download the app from AppStore or Google Play Store
• Sign up
• In the main menu, select “Easyload/Bundles”
• Tap on “Prepaid Topup”
• Enter the relevant details and select “Proceed”

Customers can easily add credit to their Easypaisa account by directly transferring funds from their bank accounts. The application allows customers to create their preferred data bundles directly through it. Easypaisa account holders can also dial *786# and select option 2 for Mobile Load & Bundle

Also note that you can also top-up your prepaid numbers or pay bills directly through your bank accounts online, without the need of Easypaisa or JazzCash like services.
