Timeouts happen in traffic, in buildings, and when the wallet SIM is in another room. The repair is not always a new USSD session.
Payments happen on Ewale (ewalepay.com or *714*22#), not on this blog.
What you need
- The paying number’s history.
The flow on *714*22#
- Find the phone that owns the wallet.
- Look for a debit.
- Retry Ewale only if there is no debit (or there is a reverse).
After you pay
If you approved a late prompt and also started a new session, you may have paid twice. History will show two rows.
If something fails
- Prompt still sitting unopened: Open it. Do not start a twin session beside it.
- Wrong SIM in the phone you are staring at: The prompt followed the wallet number.
Timeout is a question: did money move? Answer that before you dial.
