NO. There are absolutely no charges for using the HOT Recharge service. All SMSs, Balance Checks, Pin resets, transfers and Recharges are free if you transact directly through us. In fact, Vendors purchase airtime at a DISCOUNT. However, your bank or mobile wallet service provider may charge you their standard fees for making payments to Comm Shop. It is usually cheaper to do internal transfers between accounts with the same bank. Please check what fees will apply with your banking service to ensure you choose the most cost-effective way to pay HOT Recharge.
Vendor discounts are based on their volumes of sales. Different networks have different discount structures, so discounts vary depending upon which network you recharge. Vendors start on the highest band of discount to allow them to establish customers. Every month, our system automatically moves Vendors either up or down the discount bands depending on their sales during the month. You will receive an SMS informing if your account is moved to a different discount band at the beginning of the month. For our current discount bands please WhatsApp 0716047130 (Please note that these are subject to change due to inflation and other factors). To find out your what your current discount is please SMS 180 and type - ? Discount.
SMS 180 and simply type Hot. You can also check in the *180# USSD Menu. All balance checks are free.
HOT Vendors sell airtime at a discount, and your HOT account is only deducted the amount less the discount every time you do a recharge. To use the discount accumulated in your account, you can either transfer it to airtime, or when topping up your account again, send the amount LESS the current balance in your account. To check your current balance, send and SMS to 180 and type Hot. Balance checks are free.
