Ringas vouchers are PINless vouchers and are therefore recognised as agent. Ringas vouchers are universal, single use, prepaid airtime vouchers that allow you to top-up your number with any of the four major South African mobile networks. The balance of the vouchers becomes payable to the network providers with a portion being recognised as commission revenue once the Ringas vouchers are redeemed. |
