Central Telecom, the French leader of prepaid scratch cards, joins Transfer To's8482; global airtime network to extend its international mobile airtime reload coverage. Ton's233;o card customers can now recharge the mobile phone of their relatives back in China, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Turkey, the Philippines, Russia, India, Pakistan and Vietnam.

account is credited and the recharge is available right away. Instant SMS confirmation and notification are automatically sent to both sender and receiver.
