Buy Faiba Airtime in Kenya
Faiba is the consumer brand of JTL, and its airtime is bought through Faiba's own app and JTL's channels, or through a third-party airtime service. The Faiba app supports buying airtime for your own line or for another Faiba number.
Because Faiba numbers are less common than Safaricom's, the thing to check here is whether the service you are using actually carries Faiba.
Ways to Buy Faiba Airtime
Faiba airtime is available through:
- The Faiba app, which supports airtime for your own line or another Faiba number.
- JTL's own channels, including Faiba's customer service and outlets.
- A third-party airtime website, if it carries Faiba, paid with M-Pesa.
Buying Faiba Airtime in the Faiba App
The Faiba app is the most direct route: sign in, choose airtime, pick your own number or enter another Faiba number, and pay. Because it is Faiba's own app, the top-up is immediate and there is no third party in the middle.
Buying Faiba Airtime With M-Pesa
M-Pesa is how most third-party airtime services take payment, so a Faiba top-up bought online is usually an M-Pesa payment in shillings. The airtime then goes to the Faiba number you entered.
Confirm the service carries Faiba before you pay — Faiba is the one network most general airtime services are least likely to support.
Where to Go Next

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy airtime for another Faiba number?
Yes. The Faiba app supports buying airtime for your own line or another Faiba number, and some airtime websites carry Faiba too.
Who runs Faiba?
Faiba is the consumer brand of JTL, a Kenyan telecommunications operator. That is why you will also see it called JTL Faiba.
Why can some airtime services not top up Faiba?
Faiba has fewer subscribers than the big two networks, so not every aggregator carries it. Check before you pay.
