The quick way

  1. Select Rwanda and the recipient’s network (MTN and Airtel-Tigo)
  2. Enter the number as +250 + local number — e.g. +250 788 123 456
  3. Pick airtime or data, pay by card or PayPal — delivery is usually instant

Good to know

  • Mobile Money is separate: airtime top-ups don’t add MTN MoMo or Airtel Money balance — send airtime/data here, not wallet funds
  • Drop the leading 0 after +250 — Rwandan numbers are 9 digits
  • Both MTN and Airtel-Tigo have strong 4G coverage — data bundles are widely used
