When you mistakenly purchase Safaricom airtime through M-Pesa, it can naturally cause some anxiety. Many people try to recover their money by reselling the airtime, but this method can be time-consuming and unreliable, as finding buyers isn’t always easy.

However, there’s a simpler way to reverse the transaction. If you accidentally buy Safaricom airtime using M-Pesa, you can reverse the purchase by sending the M-Pesa transaction confirmation message to 456.

The reversal process is immediate, and the amount will be credited back to your M-Pesa account right away.
