FAQ What is a freebie? How do I check my balance? What is direct top up via sms?

What is Freebie?

Answer

Freebie is free airtime offered purely at the sole discretion of Mascom .It is normally given after every recharge as long as your account is within its window period and you do not have a negative balance on your account. Airtime can be used on Mascom to Mascom calls only and cannot be used on SMS/ MMS, irrespective of the destination

Call charges will be deducted from the Freebie account and if the Freebie' credit finishes, the call will disconnect and a new call has to be started, provided there is airtime in the private account Calls to other destinations will be deducted from the other pocket, the private account.

Freebie airtime is not transferable between accounts e.g.: The on line balance message shows the two balances that are on subscriber's account, i.e. Freebie PXXX, Your balance PXXX, Recharge before XXX, Last call: Duration XXX, Cost XXX
