Airtel unveils mChek

October 19, 2007 By yogen 9 Comments

Airtel mobile bills can now be paid through SMS using mChek services. If you have a Mastercard or a Visa credit card, you can now pay your Airtel mobile bill anytime and from anywhere.

Airtel and mChek guarantees the safety of your transaction and assures the user that the information provided during the transaction will be secure. The registration for mChek can be done through SMS or through the mChek website.

The registration via SMS is very simple:1. SMS ‘MCHEK’ to 121
2. Enter any 4-digit numeric PIN of your choice
3. Enter your credit card details
4. Re-enter your PIN
5. You are registered!

Now, there are two more steps involved for the payment procedure. Every time the user wishes to make payment:

1. SMS ‘PAY AIRTEL’ <amount> to 121
2. Enter your 4-digit numeric PIN

You will get an instant payment receipt through SMS.

To promote this scheme Airtel is offering 50 free SMS to users who use mChek facility to pay their mobile bill for the month of October and November and also a chance to win free holiday packages.

We say
All these new and innovative facilities clearly denote that our rapidly growing telecom industry is at par with the global telecom companies; it shows the changing scenario of the ‘Indian Telecom Environment’. mChek is a tremendously fascinating payment option as it provides you the ease to pay your mobile bill anytime and anywhere.

These services reminds us of past days when postpaid customers used to wait hours in mobile galleries to pay their mobile bills. But now revolutionary technologies like mChek can do the same work in seconds.

    This is truly an marvelous service by AirTel , like it always says another first by AIRTEL . I registered for mchek today. I normally make my payemnt through credit card on the AirTel Portal, but since few days I’ve been facing problems in logging in to my account on th portal and mchek came to my rescue. Payment immediately reflected in my Airtel as well as Credit card account. Cheers to Airtel !

    I found Airtel is a very smart and active network provider. Any complain against Airtel irritates me as I am using Airtel Since 8 yrs and I never find any problem as I travel most frequently to almost all places of India for my business and I will give 10 out of 10 to Airtel.
