There is no charge in buying airtime. Quoting FAQ #7: "Will I be charged to Receive my dividend by M-PESA? NO. You will not be charged to receive your dividend by M-PESA but note that the normal M-PESA transfer charges apply to transactions on your account e.g withdrawal, paying bills etc. apart from buying airtime which is free of any charges." Seems like the only cost will be "effort" :) Tony.
