Mobile Top-up Using Zcash
In this guide, you'll learn how to buy airtime with ZEC.
Follow these steps:
1. Create an account
Visit Coinsbee.com and create an account.
2. Select your country and network
Scroll to the top left corner and select your country; then choose mobile phone credit and select the network that you'd like to top up (example: MTN).

3. Fill in details and purchase
Fill in the correct details and hit the "Buy Now" button. Open the cart to view your order, click continue, and confirm the purchase with $ZEC.

4. Payment details
The equivalent amount in $ZEC will be provided, along with a transparent address where the funds should be sent.

5. Send the payment
Copy and paste the amount and address carefully. In the memo field, add your own shielded address in case there will be a refund.

6. Processing
Once the funds have been sent, your request will be processed within a few minutes.

7. Confirmation
Hey… My line has been credited! You could also confirm your email during the payment process so you'll get notified via email once the transaction is completed.

Buying a top-up without an account
The method above requires creating a Coinsbee account. If you would rather not, CardsRelay sells mobile top-ups for ZEC without registration.
1. Choose your country and operator
Visit CardsRelay and open the Mobile Top Ups section. Over 750 operators are supported globally.
2. Enter the number and amount
Fill in the mobile number to be credited and choose the top-up value. The price shown is a single all-in total, with no separate exchange-rate markup added later.
3. Enter your email
An email address is required so the confirmation can be delivered, and it is verified before the order is placed. No account is created and no identity documents are requested.
4. Pay with ZEC
Select Zcash at checkout. ZEC is accepted directly rather than converted by a third party. A payment address and the exact amount are shown.
5. Confirmation
The top-up is processed and confirmation arrives by email, usually within seconds.
CardsRelay also sells gift cards for around 2,500 brands, and accepts Monero and Zano alongside Zcash. It is operated by Payzy ME FZ Ltd.
