Right Number

Phone credit orders, typed by the customer

For shops where someone else minds the counter while you are at work. The customer types the number on a tablet, twice. Your phone gets the order exactly as they typed it. No more numbers read out over a call or copied into a text.

For Digicel, One Communications (GTT) and E-Networks credit. You need a tablet at the counter and your own phone. It is free.

Try it here

Both screens below are working. On the tablet, tap a network, type any number that starts with 6 (twice), pick an amount and tap Cash received. The order lands on Kevin's phone; tap Sent there and watch the tablet. Nothing you type here leaves this page.

How an order goes

  1. 1

    The customer types the number, twice

    They tap their network on the tablet and type the number on a big keypad, then type it again. If the two do not match, the tablet asks for it again. Mobile numbers that do not start with 6 or 7 are refused.

  2. 2

    The shop takes the cash and taps once

    The customer picks the amount and checks the order. Whoever is minding the shop takes the money and taps Cash received. That is the only tap they make.

  3. 3

    Your phone gets the order, exactly as typed

    A notification shows the network, the number and the amount. Tap Copy number, send the credit the way you always do, and tap Sent.

  4. 4

    The tablet shows it is done

    The customer sees Credit sent on the tablet. If you tap Not sent instead, the tablet says why and tells the shop to give the money back.

What you need

  • A tablet or a spare Android phone with Chrome, kept plugged in at the counter. A small Android tablet costs about US$100.
  • Wi-Fi or mobile data at the shop.
  • Your own phone, Android or iPhone, to get the orders.
  • Nothing else. You keep topping up the way you do now: MMG, your seller SIM or the network's app. Right Number only carries the order.

Why the number comes out right

The only person who types the number is the customer, who knows it, and they type it twice. After that nobody types it again: the tablet sends the exact digits, and your phone copies them into whatever you top up with. The tablet also keeps the day's list, so the shop can answer "did my credit go?" without calling you, and you can see at night how much credit money should be in the drawer.

Orders are kept for 180 days and only your phones see the full numbers. The tablet shows the last four digits. Privacy
