Airtime
On the roadmapCredit on a phone number, and the card whose two reasons for leading the shelf both turned out to be wrong.
Credit on the number you name, which the operator applies the way it applies any top-up. Nothing arrives for you to redeem and nothing needs keeping somewhere safe, so there is no code for anybody to steal or resell.
Nobody passes
| What | Where it stands |
|---|---|
| Smallest top-up | Ten dollars, at the two largest carriers in this market. Not twelve cents. |
| Third parties through the second filter | None. Every crypto-payable route is wholesale. |
| Retail candidates | Two third parties sell airtime at retail and take crypto. Nobody checked whether either catalogue covers this market, or what it adds on top. |
| Competition in ZEC | None, and a gap with nobody behind it is not an opportunity. |
So this card sits last rather than first, and it stays there until somebody verifies a third party who will sell one top-up at retail.
