Advantages of Online Prepaid Mobile Recharge over Regular Recharge
by Abhjeet Kumar Seo ConsultantAs per recent
studies, it is estimated that a whopping 95% of the total Indian population
which uses mobile phone prefers a prepaid mobile services. Unlike the postpaid
plans, prepaid connections give the user the freedom to put a cap on the usage
and spend by giving him the option of recharging only as much as he wishes. So
this gives the user full control over his mobile expenses. In addition, the
user can use prepaid mobile recharges to avail schemes like full talktime
Offers, free SMS, value-added services, special tariffs, among others.
All this along with “lifetime validity” make staying connected on-the-go very
much possible and very economical for the Indian consumer.
Now, the process
usually followed for prepaid
recharge is plain and simple. You go to the nearest recharge vendor
(sometimes even the local ‘paanwala’)
and ask him for a recharge coupon or he recharges your phone by his mobile. But
now, most of the mobile network service providers are offering online
mobile recharge. Now this is a much better option for prepaid
connection users.
For those
uninitiated in online
recharge, or e-recharge, the process is very simple. You go to the
online recharge page on your network provider’s site, select the most viable
option, and then through a string of easy steps and your credit/debit card, you
get your recharge online.
We say online
recharges are better in a lot of ways, and for a lot of reasons. Don’t believe
us? Then let’s pen down 5 advantages of online prepaid mobile recharge as
compared to regular prepaid recharge.
1. Faster: Online recharge is a matter of
minutes. It takes much less time than getting ready, going out to the market,
sometimes standing in the queue and finally paying in cash and getting the
coupon, or mobile recharge. Only thing is, you need to get comfortable with the
process of online recharge.
2.
Secure: Contrary to the misconception
that your credit/debit card details are unsafe in online transactions, the network
operators spend large sums of money building secure channels for online
recharge. In fact, your mobile operator’s online recharge system may even be
more secure than the swiping machines used in shopping mall outlets. The
process is the same in both cases, and the same information is given.
3.
More Options: When you visit your local
recharge vendor, you have made up your mind about what recharge you want. In
fact, many times the vendor himself has no knowledge about what your recharge
will provide you. While recharging your prepaid mobile online, you can browse
through a list of available options. This is also beneficial as mobile
operators, due to tough competition and sometimes TRAI mandate, regularly keep
changing their tariffs, which are immediately updated on their site.
4.
Exclusive Offers: In order to promote
online mobile recharge, network operators keep churning out exclusive offers
which are only applicable to online recharges only.
5.
Eco-friendly: As everything about online
recharge is paper free, it makes sense to term it eco-friendly, as opposed to top
up coupons. Though the network providers have reduced the size of the coupons, still
it does not cut paper usage 100% like online recharge.
