Answer polls in Kenya. Get airtime.

About 10 Kenyan shillings for each poll
That is what we pay for every poll you finish, as airtime on your phone in your own currency. Most polls take less than five minutes. We show you the exact reward at the start of every poll, before you decide to take it.
Short polls, your choice
Polls are short and about everyday issues. You can say no to any poll and nothing happens to your place on the list.
Free, always
It costs nothing to join and we never ask you to pay, to buy anything or to send money. If anyone says otherwise in our name, do not pay them and tell us.
People in Kenya often search for paid surveys, or for a way to get paid for answering questions on their phone. This is a simple one: you answer short polls and we credit airtime.
Also called paid surveys, online surveys that pay, or answering questions for airtime.
How it works
- Sign up below with your first name, country and mobile number.
- We keep you on the list. When a paid poll opens in your country, we message you a link.
- Finish the poll and we credit airtime to your phone number in your own currency.
A waiting list means you have a place, not a promise of a poll. We open polls country by country, and we write to you when it is your turn.
We can credit airtime on Airtel, Safaricom, Telkom. We confirm the networks before any poll opens in Kenya.
If your network's smallest top-up is more than the reward for one poll, we add your polls together and credit your airtime once it reaches that amount.
Rewards are set in your own currency and reviewed from time to time. The reward shown at the start of a poll is the one you get.
Is this real?
Yes, and it never costs you money. PollsAfrica is a research site that publishes its method and its sources. We pay in airtime, not cash. We never ask for a fee, a deposit, a PIN or your bank details. If someone asks you for any of these in our name, it is not us.
Staying safe
- Joining is free. We never ask you to pay or to send money.
- We only credit airtime to the number you give us. We never ask for your bank details or card.
- Only believe messages from pollsafrica.com or from our Telegram bot. If you doubt a message, email us.
