Using Nomapay on a basic phone
How Nomapay is designed to work on any phone with a short code: check your balance, send, buy airtime, with a PIN and text receipts.
Coming soon. Basic-phone use is not live yet. Short codes will be listed per country when it is.
Nomapay is designed to work on any phone, without the internet. You dial a short code and use simple menus, with a PIN.
Signing up
- Dial the Nomapay short code for your country. Your number comes from your mobile network, so there is no code to type.
- Enter your name.
- Choose a 4 to 6 digit PIN, and enter it again.
- Done. A text message confirms it.
The menu
1 Balance · 2 Send · 3 Airtime · 6 My account
Each screen is short (160 characters or fewer), so it works on any phone.
Sending
- Enter the recipient's number (any country).
- Enter the amount.
- A separate screen shows exactly what you are sending, to whom, and the fee. Choose 1 to confirm or 2 to cancel.
- Enter your PIN.
The amount and the confirmation are never on the same screen, so you always see what you are agreeing to.
Good to know
- A text receipt for everything.
- Large sends wait 24 hours, and the text tells you how to cancel. See large transfers.
- Basic-phone accounts have lower limits than accounts in the app.
- Get a smartphone later? Move to the app and keep the same account and history, after a 72-hour safety wait.
