Title: Excellent first experience with Bitrefill.com Post by: xhomerx10 on April 01, 2016, 02:02:22 AM I logged in to my Paypal account tonight and noticed an advertisement for Bitrefill and that's the first I had heard of them. Coincidentally, not ten minutes later, my wife told me she had forgotten to buy a top-up voucher for her mobile while she was out and she had gotten the 90% data usage notification today. So I figured I would try out Bitrefill. It was easy and fast. I selected her carrier, the top up amount and typed in her phone number. Then I was given a bitcoin address (text and QR code) to which I should send the payment within a certain amount of time (I think it was 15 minutes). I cut and pasted the address into my wallet and sent the funds. Almost immediately, Bitrefill.com sent a PIN to her phone number; even before the bitcoin transaction was confirmed on the blockchain. We logged into her mobile account, entered the PIN and the funds appeared. Great experience. I almost can't wait to do it again ;)

Edit - It doesn't work for me. Wow. They have over 140 countries accepted, but they can't accept Australia?! It even recognises my country and selects the "Australian" button for me. Why would there be a button for Australia is they don't have support for my country yet,?

I have used it several times and it always works perfectly.
Sometimes it takes a little (no more than 1 minute) to receive credit on the phone, but that depends on whether the mobile network is very busy.

Now a days, there are lot of services available to top up mobile phones and other DTH kind of services. I guess they are covering almost all the countries with maximum service providers. Bitcoin really evolving up to our everyday needs.

xhomerx10 That looks like a very interesting service, thanks for letting us know. I note Peru is one of the countries included. I'll have to dig further, I have never owned a prepaid phone, but really like the idea. That would help when we travel. I almost ran out of data on my iPhone when we went to India last Nov. Being able to top up a prepaid phone in INDIA with Bitcoin would be excellent! Too bad Italy is not on the list, we go there every two - three years. |
