Yes, some Indian telecom operators have made it to be possible to recharge a mobile number of yours using just a missed call or SMS because that is especially useful for the people with no internet access or no smartphones. Downloading apps or visiting a website are not required and this method is quick and simple.
To begin, with Missed Call Recharge, register your mobile number then connect it to payment options like a wallet or bank account. After the setting up of it, you are able to proceed on. Your operator will provide you with a specific number for each missed call. Your linked account is deducted with a pre-set recharge amount triggered for your mobile number. This simple process takes only a short time.
You can also send an SMS with either the recharge amount or a plan code to a service number designated: SMS Recharge. Once the recharge is successful you’ll get a confirmation message, also the recharge amount is deducted from your linked account or wallet.
Remember:
- It will seem perfect for basic feature phone users in rural or remote areas.
- The system has no need for internet connectivity. Smartphone apps are also unnecessary.
- It is both fast and convenient, especially when there are emergencies. This is true for when you are travelling.
