Pricing
Know what you’re paying before you buy. Every service shows its total on screen, and the amount you confirm is the amount you are charged.
How you are charged
The option you pick carries its own price, shown beside it.
Data, cable, PINs and vouchers
You are charged a share of the value you are sending, so sending more costs proportionally more.
Airtime
The full amount reaches its destination and a flat fee is added on top, rather than deducted from it.
Electricity
Prices differ by account and change as networks and providers update theirs. Rather than publish a figure that would be wrong for most people by next week, every price is shown live at the moment you choose what to buy — and the total you confirm is the total you are charged.
What you pay
Every service is priced differently, and each one tells you the total before you confirm anything.
Showing 6 of 6 services.
A percentage of the airtime you send
You choose how much airtime to send, and you are charged a percentage of that amount. The rate depends on the network, and the total is shown before you confirm.

About cable tvThe amount you pay, plus a flat fee
Your distributor receives the full amount you enter — we add a small flat fee on top rather than taking a cut, so your meter is credited with exactly what you asked for. Both are shown before you confirm.

Transparency
Four things we hold to, each of which is a property of how the platform is built rather than a promise.
The amount is on screen before you confirm. Nothing is charged until you do.
Where a service adds a fee, it is listed on its own rather than folded into the amount.
The final amount is calculated on our servers, not in your browser — so a page cannot be edited into a cheaper price.
If a purchase is confirmed as failed, the amount goes back to your balance automatically.
Fund your BuyByteData wallet once and use your balance across supported digital services — no card details entered per purchase.

Questions
Prices differ by account and change as providers update theirs. Publishing a figure here would mean publishing one that is wrong for most people — so each price is shown live when you choose what to buy.
Yes. The total is shown before you confirm, and it is calculated on our servers rather than in your browser, so what you confirm is what is charged.
Where a service adds a fee — electricity is the one that does — it is shown separately from the amount rather than folded into it, so you can see both before confirming.
Yes. Purchases are paid from your BuyByteData wallet balance, so you fund once and spend across supported services.
If a purchase is confirmed as failed, the amount returns to your wallet automatically. If an outcome is still being confirmed we say so and ask you not to pay again while we check.
