 But at some point, i noticed i spent alot of money on data services and airtime because i am always online posting information and videos on my Blogging platform i  realised i needed to bring down the cost of the money i spent on purchasing data services.

 This is very technical it gave me sleepless night but I realised one day while surfing online that there is a platform exchanging airtime for money and also selling cheap data services  i realise  I could study what they do and how they do it. So I called a friend and told him to come have a look. I knew this was a company

I called another friend he told me he like the idea  that definitely when it kicks off he would gather customers to me, if i would make data services very cheap and affordable, then realised there was scope, and if we can simplify and make this services affordable we would gather alot of customers. That’s how the name Paynownow came about – it’s a fast brand to get airtime and data services for bussiness and individual use.”
