Life does not wait for airtime.
An emergency does not wait for payday.
A job opportunity does not wait until you top up.
Every day, people miss important calls simply because there is no balance. A mother fails to reach her child. A student cannot call home. A job seeker cannot follow up on work. A traveler is stranded and cannot ask for help. These are not stories — this is daily life for many Zimbabweans.
NetOne understands this reality, and that is why it has introduced Reverse Calling (Pay for Me) — a simple service built for real people and real situations.
Reverse Calling allows you to make a call even when you have zero airtime. If the person you are calling agrees, they pay for the call instead. No tricks. No confusion. Just communication that works when you need it most.
This service exists because money is tight, but communication is essential.
You may not have airtime today, but you still have a voice. You still have needs. You still have people who depend on you — and people you depend on.
Think of the student in town who needs to call home for fees. Think of the vendor who needs to confirm a delivery. Think of the farmer who needs to reach a buyer. Think of the young person looking for work, calling a number they were given once. With Reverse Calling, these calls no longer end before they even start.
The person receiving the call is always informed and always in control. They can accept the call and pay for it, or decline if they cannot. If they accept, the call goes through normally. If they decline, no one is charged. Simple. Honest. Fair.
NetOne is not introducing Reverse Calling to be fancy. It is doing so because communication keeps families together, businesses running, and lives moving forward. When people talk, problems get solved. When people communicate, opportunities open. When people stay connected, no one is left behind.
In tough economic times, small solutions make a big difference. Reverse Calling removes the stress, the embarrassment, and the frustration of having no airtime when you urgently need to speak to someone. It replaces missed calls and “please call me” messages with real conversations.
This is NetOne saying: “We see you. We understand how you live. And we are here to make communication easier for you.”
No one should fail to speak simply because their balance is zero; and no Zimbabwean should be disconnected when connection matters most.
