How to Use a Blu Voucher as Airtime

Using a Blu Voucher to top up your airtime is a breeze. It’s a super convenient way to stay connected without needing a bank card. If you've got a Blu Voucher and you’re wondering how to turn it into talk time or data, you're in the right place. The short answer is that you can simply dial \*119\*voucherpin# to recharge.

I remember the first time I tried to use a Blu Voucher for airtime. I was out with friends and realized I was out of data. I quickly bought a Blu Voucher from a nearby spaza shop, but then I was stuck. I tried to find a website to redeem it, but I couldn't find one that worked for just airtime. It was a bit frustrating, but after a quick search, I found the USSD code and it was so easy! Now I use it all the time when I need a quick top-up.

How to Use Your Blu Voucher for Airtime

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you out. It’s really easy, and you’ll be done in just a few seconds.

1. Get your Blu Voucher: You can buy a Blu Voucher from any store that has the Blu Voucher logo. This could be a spaza shop, a big supermarket, or even some banking apps.

2. Find your PIN: On your voucher, there will be a 16-digit PIN. This is the magic number you need to get your airtime.

3. Dial the USSD code: On your phone, open the dialer and type in \*119\* followed by your 16-digit PIN, and then #. So it will look something like this: \*119\*1234567890123456#.

4. Press send: Once you’ve entered the code, press the call button.

5. Choose your top-up: You will then get a menu on your screen. You can choose to top up your airtime or data. Just follow the instructions on the screen.

And that’s it! Your airtime will be loaded onto your phone. It’s a really simple process. I even taught my gran how to do it, and she’s not very tech-savvy, so that tells you how easy it is.
