Recharge Airtel Prepaid Online

Did you know you can recharge your Prepaid Mobile connection with Citibank/ICICI ?

Be Aware, that it is harldly a good idea. Do it only when you have no other option. They charged me Rs.324 for a ~Rs.150 recharge, with a 15 day validity. Hardly an offer I would like. ( Also, it didn’t extend the validity, it just covered the validity from the day I recharged.) Sucks !

Here is how you go about it.
- You need to login to your online banking service.
- You should have an option that reads, ‘Recharge Prepaid Mobile’.
- Enter your mobile number.
- Select your mobile phone service provider, and the Amount you want to recharge for (there will be a minimum).

You can recharge anyones phone ( read friends/family using this service ).

I hope Airtel/Hutch/Idea/BSNL and all other service providers give out better deals(offers) for people who are trying to reach out to them online. Whoever gets there sooner, will enjoy success with subscribers. After all, sonner than later, everyone is going to be online !

This online recharge is available with most leading banks ( Citbank/ICICI/HDFC etc. ) and most service providers ( Airtel/Hutch/Idea etc. )

Update:

A few other websites have cropped up since I last wrote this post.

You can recharge your phones here:

www.rechargeonline.in

www.fastrecharge.com

www.apnabill.com

www.easymobilerecharge.com

www.rechargetoday.com

Do let me know what you guys think of these services.

Citibank sucks, I recharge my cell(idea) with ICICI bank, usually the transaction completes in 15 mins, and ICICI bank never charged more. But may change its policy soon.

But once the recharge process is completed, idea sends no message.

Sasidhar 07.05.07 / 9am

I did get a message, saying it was recharged though.
The funny part was, they did not inform me what package I was getting.
All they said, was the minimum recharge was for Rs.324 and thats all.
Also, no info regarding this could be found on the Airtel website.

Pankaj 06.12.08 / 9am

Thanx Sai,
I tried rechargetoday.com, but no respose since an hr, after a confirmation mail of order. Are you aware how long does it take to process. ?

Sai 06.13.08 / 11pm

Hi Pankaj,

You might have not transferred money to their Netbanking account & the order might be pending for payment from your end.

Funds must be transferred manually. I had an query with them regarding this and they said that no bank is offerring direct netbanking transfers as many of the banks themself have this mobile recharge service. So RechargeToday.com is providing bank transfers mannually.

I have recharged earlier for Rs.333 Airtel and in 3 min i got the recharge on my mobile after tranfering payment from my axis bank.

Pankaj 06.14.08 / 1pm

Thanx Sai,
yes this was the case as you suspected. Actually I thought I would be asked for netbanking through some links. I was later assisted by the rechargetoday sales team to know about the complete process, how it works. Thanks a lot agian.

Maku 06.17.08 / 11pm

Hi there,

Try http://www.ApnaBill.com - it went live just days ago and looks very promising…

Oh btw, http://www.ApnaBill.com does not charges any surcharge on the coupons! A 100 bucks coupon is available for just 100 bucks!

No surcharge!
And netbanking is supported too!

Jai 06.22.08 / 12am

Tx Maku for the information..I have tried to purchase voucher from http://www.apnabill.com & its not working.

They dont have full range of vouchers. Only one or two are available and that too with ” ran out of vouchers” error.

skip this site if you have better options than this.

makuchaku 07.01.08 / 11pm

Hi Jai,

http://www.ApnaBill.com has one of the most active customer support. They answer within an hour for any queries.

I bet not!

hi, i used rechargeonline.in service is really wrost… sorry

askssh 08.19.08 / 9pm

I got this:
‘Firefox can’t find the server at http://www.rechargeonline.in.’
A DNS lookup also fails, indicating it is not a temporary outage:
** server can’t find http://www.rechargeonline.in: SERVFAIL
To my surprise, I get a whois record:
Domain Name:RECHARGEONLINE.IN
Created On:03-Nov-2007 10:42:19 UTC
Registrant Name:mohsin ali
Registrant Organization:tara banke
Registrant City:hyderabad

We probably need to stick to banks or cellular service provider, however bad their service may be, for security.
