I came across this <a href="http://www.homesend.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and another reference <a href="http://digitaldebateblogs.typepad.com/digital_money/2009/07/hubs-and-spokes.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Why is the remittance of airtime different?

E.g. eServ Global offer cross-border transfer of airtime topup and remittances (the "Homesend" service) between mobile money systems. Please correct me if I've misunderstood, but it seems to me that such a service provides a solution to the problem you've discussed here.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630829153059153898noreply@blogger.com
