20 steps to buy MTN airtime online with debit card

How to buy MTN airtime online with debit card. It is impossible for you to find someone living in Nigeria not owning an MTN Sim card. MTN is arguably one of the biggest mobile network in Nigeria with masses in almost every city and villages across Nigeria. It is estimated that 55 million Nigerians use MTN, thus making the demand for its recharge cards a hot cake. In the wake of this, greedy local vendors have used it as an opportunity to add an extra N10 to every MTN recharge card they sell, totally unfair I must say.
