The service, which is currently available only for Android users, can be accessed by Airtel, Vodafone-Idea, Jio, BSNL, MTNL, Tata Docomo, Telenor and Tata Indiacom prepaid users. The motive of Google is to lessen people’s dependency on having to run errands to local recharge shops to get their recharge done.
As per a report, India has approximately 1.1 billion cellular connections out of which 95% are prepaid users. And with India being one of the highest consumers of the internet and mobile phone, such a feature seems necessary to make life easier and more digital.
