Use the website when you have data and want a larger screen. Use *714*22# when you have no internet, no smartphone, or a dead app.

Pay on *714*22# in 30 seconds

Airtime, bills, TV, and checkers — any phone, no app.

*714*22#

Both channels sell the same classes of product. Neither is a different company. If you start on web and finish on USSD, you can still double-pay — the channels do not lock each other out.

Payments happen on Ewale (ewalepay.com or *714*22#), not on this blog.

What you need

  1. An honest look at your signal and battery.
  2. The same identifiers you would type on USSD.

The flow on *714*22#

  1. Pick one channel for this payment.
  2. Complete it. Wait for SMS.
  3. Only then consider the other channel for a different bill.

After you pay

Web is nicer for long smartcard numbers. USSD is nicer in a power cut with a keypad phone. The receipt is still SMS.

If something fails

  • Started on both: Check history. You may already have two successes.
  • Browser failed mid-pay: Check MoMo. Do not immediately dial USSD for the same bill until you know the web debit failed.

One channel, one debit, one SMS. Then stop.

Keep *714*22# saved. It is the backup that works when OTP, data, or Play Store fail. One shortcode also pays Ghana Water and TV bills.
