Use Buildpal without a smartphone

Everything a worker needs works on a basic phone: joining, offers, your wallet and help. Here is how, by USSD and SMS.

What you need
  • A basic phone

A smartphone is never required. Workers on basic phones have the same profile, the same offers and the same pay.

  1. Open the Buildpal menu

    Dial the Buildpal USSD code to open the menu. It works on any phone, without internet.

  2. Answer offers

    New offers arrive by SMS. Open them in the USSD menu to accept or decline.

  3. Check your wallet

    Open your wallet in the menu to see your available and held money, and to withdraw to mobile money.

  4. Get help

    If you're stuck, ask your site supervisor or contact the Buildpal team.
