Vodacom Fasta ~ AIRTIME RECHARGE
Vodacom Fasta is an electronic airtime distribution and
recharge service created by Vodacom Tanzania to enable the speedy
and secure sale of prepaid airtime credit from Vodacom through its
Super Dealers to various sub-distributors and vendors, and through
them all ~ to the Prepaid Subscriber.
- A Vodacom Super Dealer can also purchase 'airtime funds' from
Vodacom. The Super Dealer sells this 'airtime' to his appointed
'Wholesalers'.
- Now, instead of transporting the 'airtime funds' via road, air
or courier - the Super Dealer uses VodaFASTA to 'transfer' the
amount from his own wallet into the Wholesaler's
Wallet!
- A Wholesaler creates a sales level below him ~ Reseller ~ and
sells airtime to him, transferring funds from his wallet to the
Reseller's wallet. A Reseller is typically a store owner who
presently stocks vouchers as one of the many products in his
shop.
- Similarly, a Reseller can create a level below him ~ Vendor ~
and sells airtime to him via wallet to wallet
transfer.
- Vendor can then Recharge a Vodacom prepaid customer. A Vendor
is typically a small duka / grocery or street
salesman.
- Super Dealer, Wholesaler, Reseller and Vendor can ALL recharge
Vodacom prepaid customers directly.
- Vodacom Prepaid customers can get airtime via direct recharge
from a Vodacom Fasta distributor into their accounts. All they
have to do is indicate how much airtime they want (from as little
as Tsh 100 and above) and provide their number to the distributor
who then credits their account directly. The customer receives an
SMS confirmation from Vodacom and then pays for the
airtime!
