If you study the advancement in telecom technology, you will observe that the system of purchasing and borrowing airtime on telecom lines has become as easy as making a few taps. However, this doesn’t undermine the fact that there may be scenarios where the technology system purchasing or borrowing airtime becomes futile and it is in such scenarios that the need to transfer airtime from user A to user B becomes important.
A good example of a scenario where you won’t be able to use the improved airtime purchase technology would be a situation where the cash in your bank account isn’t enough to purchase the airtime. Another one would be a situation where the airtime lending feature isn’t working for some reason.
