Sometimes I can't help but be amused looking at how smartphones have permeated almost every aspect of our daily lives. But I am not complaining. Because undoubtedly they have simplified our lives so much! Add to that, the various useful mobile apps that have revolutionized the way we use our phones. Thanks to the technological advances and some really innovative thinking by the developers, we have now hundreds and thousands of time saving mobile apps that are not only fast and effective but have also made our lives real easy by allowing us to be more productive and efficient while still being on the go!
Gone are the days when paying bills used to feel like a hassle. I remember there was a time when I had to physically go to the nearest airtel customer care centre to recharge my DTH package or to pay my mobile phone bills. And if it wasn't my day, I would also have a long queue to deal with. Sometimes I had to wait for quite a long time for my turn to come. That was such a wastage of time. But now with the "My Airtel app", it has become incredibly easy and convenient! No more are we required to visit any airtel outlet to pay our bills. We can complete these tasks at any time, anywhere with just a touch or a swipe of the finger on our smartphone! In today's fast-paced digital age when time is at a premium, could there be anything better than having such a nifty mobile app that lets you manage all of your airtel services (DTH, Broadband, pre-paid and post-paid cell phone recharge etc), even while on the go, through your mobile handset? My Airtel app does all of these and so much more -- with it, I can now pay my internet and telephone bills, recharge your DTH TV package, keep a track of my account and data usage, keep a track of all service requests; it also lets me buy products and services, and so also lets me add my family and friends’ numbers to my frequently accessed contacts or under frequently done tasks, thus saving me time and effort.
The best thing that I love about My Airtel app is its user interface. That it lets me manage all the Airtel services at one place, is one of its biggest advantages for me.
The second feature that I love in My airtel app is that it allows me to save my most frequent tasks on the home screen as a shortcut, and thus it becomes easier to complete the task or transaction.
Not only that, it also provides the customers with various offers on recharges (like full talktime with select values).
One also gets some cash back on the first recharge that one makes using the my airtel app.
Also one gets free data (100 MB for absolutely free on internet packs lesser than 1 GB and 250 MB free data on internet packs of 1 GB and above) when one uses the mobile app for purchasing internet packs.
Moreover, every time we make bill payments through my airtel app or every recharge through the app comes with some surprises from Airtel under ‘Airtel Surprises’ tab - like free coupons of famous food outlets or shopping vouchers or movie tickets etc.
The third thing that I like most about my airtel app is that with its safe and secure payment gateway, we can save our payment details (our credit card or debit card details) on the app which will result in a faster checkout. Its payment gateway being PCIDSS certified, one can completely trust it.
With 'My airtel app', one can also keep a track of billed and unbilled usage.

Another useful feature of this app is that it allows me to check the various tariff plans of full talktime recharge, top up recharge, night pack recharge, daily packs recharge, SMS recharge, internet recharge, roaming recharge etc. We can also check all of our transaction history for previous recharges and payments with this app.
The fifth feature that I like about this app is that it notifies you about the bill due dates or when the recharge balance becomes very low. Thus it acts as a virtual assistant for my mobile phone needs. What more could I have asked for from an app? Currently "my airtel app" is only available for the Android users but it will very soon be available for the iPhone users too. I am sure this mobile app is going to become one of the most popular apps ever and will continue to make our mobile experience smooth and easy.
