Faiba bundles are cheap, fast, and reliable, which is very convenient. However, a limited number of agents who sell the network’s Airtime are available, making purchasing data seem tiresome and inaccessible.
That assumption is, however, farfetched. So, which procedure on how to buy Faiba bundles should you follow?
Purchasing Faiba data for your router or Mi-Fi is simple. You do not need technical skills, supercomputers, or magic; you can do it yourself!
How to Buy Faiba Bundles
There are various ways you can use to recharge your FAIBA data. Before we start, you should ensure that:
- You have enough Airtime to purchase the package you want.
- It would be best if you had a mobile phone or a PC; some methods will require an active internet connection. Technically, if Faiba is your only internet source, you cannot perform some of the procedures listed here.
1. Using USSD Code
The most basic way of buying Faiba bundles is using their official USSD code. We highly recommend this method as it doesn’t need access to the internet or any credit balance. You should:
- Ensure that you have enough airtime balance to purchase bundles
- Unlock your phone. Use your password to do so.
- Open your “Phone” app: In some old models, this is known as the “Dial pad.”
- dial *111# from your Faiba line
- Select the first option to buy Faiba bundles.
- Next, you can choose whether you want to purchase a daily, weekly, or monthly bundle. Depending on the amount you have, choose the package you prefer.
- Confirm the purchase
You will receive a confirmation message from Faiba with details of the transaction and the number of bundles you purchased.
