The partnership integrates Talkio Mobile’s services with 252 Lifestyle’s trusted *252# USSD platform, which is widely recognized for offering services such as utility payments, e-ticketing, and financial transactions. 

As we previously reported, Talkio Mobile has been expanding its reach through strategic collaborations, including a recent partnership with Interswitch’s Agent Network to provide airtime and data bundles through over 20,000 Quickteller agent locations. This new alliance with 252 Lifestyle further enhances Talkio Mobile’s commitment to customer-centric innovation by offering a digital, internet-free solution for airtime purchases, particularly benefiting users in areas with limited connectivity.

“This partnership with 252 Lifestyle marks a significant milestone in our journey to deliver unparalleled convenience to our customers,” said Edina Atuhaire, Spokesperson for Talkio Mobile. “By leveraging the *252# platform, we’re breaking down barriers to communication, ensuring that our subscribers can stay connected anytime, anywhere, with ease and security.” 

This statement cements Talkio Mobile’s focus on accessibility, a key driver in its rapid growth within Uganda’s competitive telecom market.

A major advantage of this service is its round-the-clock availability. Talkio Mobile subscribers can now purchase airtime at any time, from any location in Uganda, without needing an internet connection. This is particularly significant in a country where internet access can be unreliable, especially in rural areas. The service is supported across all major mobile networks, ensuring that customers using different providers can take advantage of this convenient top-up method, making it a truly inclusive solution.

The process for purchasing airtime is designed for simplicity and efficiency. Subscribers can top up by dialing *252# on their mobile phone, selecting the “Airtime & Internet” option, choosing “Talkio Mobile,” entering their phone number and desired airtime amount, and confirming the transaction with their Mobile Money PIN. 

This straightforward, USSD-based process requires only a few steps, making it accessible even for users with basic mobile devices. The ease of use reflects Talkio Mobile’s dedication to removing obstacles to communication for all Ugandans.

Security is a cornerstone of this service, with all transactions protected by Mobile Money PIN verification. This ensures that customers can top up their airtime with confidence, knowing their financial details are secure. The *252# platform, as noted on 252 Lifestyle’s website, is built on a robust and reliable framework, further enhancing trust in the system for both Talkio Mobile and its customers.

Adding value to the user experience, the partnership incorporates 252 Lifestyle’s loyalty program, which rewards customers with points for every transaction made through the *252# platform. For every 1,000 Ugandan shillings spent, users earn points that can be redeemed for airtime, internet bundles, or utility bill payments. This incentive not only enhances customer satisfaction but also encourages repeated use of the platform, fostering greater engagement with Talkio Mobile’s services.
