    Airtime, Data & Utility Bills — Now Quietly Available on FirstFlip Beta

    While we polish the public launch, FirstFlip beta users can already top up airtime, buy data, and pay electricity, cable & internet bills directly from their wallet. Here's how.

    Airtime, Data & Utility Bills — Now Quietly Available on FirstFlip Beta

    While the FirstFlip team puts the final polish on our public launch, beta users have already unlocked something useful: airtime top-ups, data bundles, and full utility-bill payments — all paid directly from your FirstFlip wallet, in Naira, in seconds.

    What You Can Pay For Today

    • Airtime — MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile (any amount)
    • Data bundles — all four major networks, daily/weekly/monthly
    • Electricity — Eko, Ikeja, AEDC, IBEDC, EEDC, KEDCO, JED, BEDC, PHED, KAEDCO and more (prepaid + postpaid)
    • Cable TV — DStv, GOtv, StarTimes, Showmax
    • Internet — Spectranet, Smile, Swift, ipNX

    Why "Lowkey"?

    The bill-payment module is a small piece of a much bigger product. We're keeping it quiet during beta because we want to battle-test reliability with real users before the full marketing push. If you're already on the beta, it's there in your wallet today.

    Why Pay Bills Through FirstFlip Instead of Your Bank App?

    • One wallet, one balance — no switching apps between crypto, gift cards, and bills
    • FLIPX rewards on every bill payment during beta — your bills now pay you back
    • Instant token delivery for prepaid electricity (no waiting on bank confirmations)
    • 24/7 WhatsApp support if anything goes wrong

    How to Use It

    1. Open the FirstFlip beta app
    2. Tap More → Bills & Airtime
    3. Pick the service, enter the meter/phone/smartcard number, confirm — done

    Coming at Public Launch

    Recurring bill auto-pay, family bundles (pay multiple meters in one tap), and rewards multipliers for paying with crypto. Stay tuned.
