Best For

Nigerian VTU resellers and website owners who need a paid, straightforward API to sell airtime, data, cable TV, and bill payments

Pricing

API integration access is explicitly paid, not free — InstantMobileNG requires purchase of one of three one-time developer packages (₦10,000-₦35,000) before issuing API credentials, plus normal wallet funding for the airtime/data/bills sold. The underlying API runs on a platform called MODATA (modata.com.ng/api/) with bearer-token auth and simple GET/POST endpoints such as POST /data/ and POST /topup/. No rate limits or sandbox/test mode are documented publicly; approval after payment takes 1-48 business hours, and support is available 24/7 via phone/WhatsApp (08136367446) or support@instantmobile.com.ng.
