Prepaid, on your terms
Somtel Prepaid is the simplest way to stay connected. You top up when it suits you, you spend only what you have already paid for, and no bill turns up at the end of the month. Every call, message and megabyte comes out of credit you control.
Three ways to spend your credit
You are never locked into one of them. Move between Muraadso, Akram and plain airtime as your month changes.
Muraadso
Converts your credit into unlimited national calling for a fixed daily, weekly or monthly fee.
Akram Voice
Buys a block of national minutes that never expires - ideal if you call in bursts rather than every day.
Airtime
Stays as flexible credit for calls, SMS and data, or can be turned into a Kaafiye Plus or Dhamays Plus bundle whenever you need one.
Topping up
Top up from the eDahab app, from any eDahab agent, at a Somtel outlet, or with a scratch card. Credit reaches your line immediately and a confirmation SMS records your new balance, so there is always a receipt.

Good to know
The detail, in short
What it costs
Prepaid has no monthly fee, no minimum spend and no contract. You pay for the bundle or the minutes you choose, and nothing else. Tariffs and balances are checked with a short USSD code from your handset at no charge.
Keeping your line active
Use your line at least once in any ninety-day period - a call, an SMS or a data session is enough - and your number stays yours. A line left completely unused for longer can be recycled, which is the rule across the Somali market.
DID Call for small businesses
Direct inward dialling gives a business its own published numbers that ring straight through to the right person, without installing extra physical lines. It works alongside a prepaid line and is set up by our business team.
Ready to move to a monthly account?
If you would rather receive one invoice and stop topping up, Somtel Postpaid gives you the same network with a monthly bill and a set allowance.
