The New My Airtel App

We are a tech savvy lot. Everything needs to be in our fingertips nowadays. It wasn't too long ago that we had to frequent neighborhood shops to buy recharge vouchers, which we then scratched with a coin, messaged a 16 digit number and got new talk time. Soon that changed into the shopkeeper using his phone to directly send money into our phones, which eventually turned into us being able to do it from the comforts of our homes using our personal computers.

The latest in the field of easy recharging are the mobile applications. All you need is a credit/debit card and an internet connection, and you are good to go.

The new My Airtel App is one such fascinating application, which can be downloaded in both the Android as well as Windows phone, and comes with a range of cool features.

Mentioned below are three of the features I like best about this app-

1. The One-Stop-Shop for all your Airtel goodies

So, of late, Airtel has its fingers in too many pies, which means everything from your phone bill, both mobile and landline, to broadband connection to your digital TV is more likely than not managed by Airtel. Now, I am a self professed mall fan, because you get everything you need under one roof!
The New Airtel App does exactly the same thing for all your airtel products. It smartly manages your prepaid as well as postpaid mobile connections, your landline phone, your broadband services along with your digital TV subscription.
Not only can you manage and recharge them here, you are also given regular reminders and can look up the history of recharges including past favorite discounts at the press of a button, err touchscreen.

2. Airtel Money

Another amazing feature to dig is the airtel money that allows me to shop online and buy tickets among other things, without having to remember specific credit/debit card details. I always find the whole process of feeding in the card details while shopping very tedious, and this cool feature of the app completely solves it!

3. Showering Offers

All you have to do is shake that phone, and you will get awesome offers which will spoil you for choice, be it food, movie, clothing or accessories. There is an unending list to choose from and there is always something that is just right for you!
Not just that, you also have amazing offers in terms of recharges and talk-times for all your phone connections, as well as television and internet services. I find the discounts to be really useful for a person living off a student budget! Offers on full talk time as well as a range of validity to choose from is super cool too.

All in all, if you love to have everything organized in your smartphone and do not wish to be bothered about paying bills via a bunch of different avenues, and at the same time get great discounts and special deals exclusively for you, this is the go-to app for you.

So, what are you waiting for? Check it out yourselves at http://www.airtel.in/myairtel and have fun exploring!
