This is an indictment on the other networks! A competitor’s currency being used to purchase your own products – at a discount too! . I wanted to think it was a sarcastic headline until I read on
This is a genius solution. Networks must learn to compete directly on their services, not payment solutions. This may actually assist Netone and Telecel to get higher revenues because its such a nightmare to buy their airtime due to poor distribution network of their services. Netone and Telecel may want to force subscribers to pay using their mobile money wallets but the reality is that there is no sign of their wallets taking on Ecocash beyond what they have achieved so far. So why lose the revenue on the airtime ? Infact, OneMoney and Telecash are cannibalizing on the potential revenue on the Netone and Telecel airtime side for no reverse gain. Over 90% of electronic transactions in the country are on Ecocash. That’s massive revenue loss for Netone and Telecel to say the least.
Why don’t you create an app for this service because a lot of people have got two SIM Cards in their phone, Econet and another one of the other two networks ? Having to go onto the net just to buy airtime for say, $1 is too much work.
This awaresome question,the techzim managers should respond to this question,why should they not create the spoliation???
So without internet access idololo. Pakaipa
What if you have a Netone line registered for Ecocash…service is not available
Thanks for the feedback, we will work on making sure that if you have a NetOne line registered for EcoCash you can still purchase.
Now you’re saying you don’t have my order you people
Hi, could you send an email to sales@techzim.co.zw so we can further understand what is the problem and work on solving it.
What’s the problem now you no longer want to sale the airtime?
Hi, we would still like to keep selling airtime, however, we are currently facing some technical challenges and have temporarily put the airtime to be out of stock while we work on restoring the service. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the patience.
Its a great idea, most people I know have econet and netone lines but rarely buy recharge cards anymore because its more convenient to use ecocash. Tried to use the website but no stock 🙁
Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the patience.
no stock, cant test if t works
Why not just introduce an App rather than to just go on net for buying airtime. At the end it will be more costly.
Worked for me very well…..i bought net1 etym for a friend in a remote place and he confirmed the transaction was successful…..Much Thanks!!
Worked well.Keep up the good work guys.Will kerp buying more.

Hello. Thanks for the service, facility is working, but realised it does not recognise 0719 netone numbers, hence wont be able to proceed. Help.
