Hello,

I recently stumbled on mymusic.com.ng. I was eager to test how the platform works so I hit the download button.

I hit download and I got a text. See below.

Your purchase is successful. Here is your link to Pana. http://www.MyMusic.com.ng/412671491856599 You have 3 extra download attempts till Thu, Apr 13 2017....

In a bid to isolate the technology behind the seamless N30 charge.
Now my friend and I tried something. I shared my hot spot and my friend downloaded with Wi-fi.

Guess what?
I got the text message, not my friend whose phone was used to download.

The implication of this is that these guys must have partnered with telcos definitely. They don't get your number from your hardware (device) but through your Network Provider. Now I don't know what's obtainable when you use Smile, Spectranet and the likes to download music. That's my next move.

Another Experiment:
There was no airtime on my phone and I still shared my hotspot. My friend hit the download button again and he got "No sufficient airtime".

I am eager to know how they pulled this off. I know its a cakewalk but still keen to know. Anyone got any idea?
