It was the end of the month, and things were tight. I needed ₦6,500 urgently to settle a bill, so I texted my uncle. He replied almost immediately with:

"Check your phone. Just sent you something."

Relief washed over me until I saw it. ₦20,000 airtime. Airtime, not bank transfer.

I stared at the screen, sighed, and typed “Thank you, sir” with the fakest smile in history. I couldn’t start explaining the difference, not again.

But I had to think fast. Then I remembered: Tingtel.

I’d seen someone mention on Twitter something about converting airtime to cash using Tingtel.

So I downloaded the Tingtel App, followed the steps, and boom, in 60 seconds, the money hit my account.

That’s how I turned unexpected airtime into real cash, without stepping out.
