Big thank you Oscar. This is a big relief. I sell mtn data, and the stress of loading airtime as been unfair. Thanks again

They would definitely refund you probably by the end of the month. That error occurs at times, I’ve experience it a couple of time and yet got my refund.

Hi Seye,
Don’t get worried, GTB would normally credit your account at the end of the month with the refund in such scenarios. Though you might want to call up the customer care before if you wish.

Oops! Not at all Jude. You can’t send the airtime back. 🙁
please reverse the 2000 you debited from my account without giving me airtime credit 0111727868 on friday 24 April 2015
Hi Musa,
Just wish to clarify you. We (Oscarmini) are not in any position to debit your account for recharge. Your financial institution (which in this case is GTB) would definitely credit you with the amount that failed on the top up recharge in few days. Sorry for the inconvenience. You might consider calling your customer service hotline for quick attention to your plea.
Is there any charges hidden or open to this effect ?
I was debtd 100 without recharging ma pone . Pls reverse it ok
