Vodafone Idea users will now be able to recharge mobile phones by speaking

Vodafone Idea has introduced a new voice-based contactless recharge option for its Vodafone and Idea prepaid customers, which customers can use at retail outlets. Though the company provides its customers with the option to recharge their prepaid through Vodafone and Idea apps, there are still many consumers who still depend on retail outlets for mobile recharge in today’s time. Most of these numbers are of feature phone users. The purpose of this new recharge option of the company is also to prevent the spread of the rapidly spreading corona virus. As everyone knows that the risk of infection of this virus increases by coming in contact with people, so the government has been urging people to keep distance from each other. This contactless voice-based recharge option of the company has been introduced in view of this.

How does the voice-based contactless recharge option at retail stores work?

Usually, whenever a consumer visits a retail store for a mobile recharge, the shopkeeper first hands over a phone in which the consumer enters his prepaid number and returns it to the shopkeeper. After this, the shopkeeper again takes that phone in his hands and then completes the recharge process. However, this new voice based contactless recharge option of this recharge has been made completely safe. In this process, the consumer has to simply speak his number, Vodafone Idea’s Smart Contact Retailer app will capture his voice through Google Voice Assistant and automatically type the number for recharge.

Let us tell you, Vodafone Idea said that the voice-based recharge feature currently works in Hindi and English languages, but in the coming days, other languages ​​will also be added to it. This process will be completed in a phase manner. As we mentioned earlier, this new recharge option has been brought by the company at a time when the whole world is fighting against the Corona virus. Keeping social distance from the main weapon of this fight, the more people come in contact with each other, the more the risk of spreading this virus can increase. Recently, the government had divided the places into zones, providing relief in the lockdown implemented for a few weeks, delivery of non-essential goods has been started in Green and Orange zone areas and many shops are also being opened.

It is worth noting that recently, Vodafone Idea had released double data offer on pan-India basis, in which the company is providing 2 GB additional high speed data to the customers. However, this offer is applicable only on Rs 299, Rs 449 and Rs 699 prepaid recharge plans.
