Prepaid Recharge Facility

1. What is a recharge facility?
Recharge refers to usage of services after a prior payment for that service is made.

2. What is a recharge facility?
The following services can be recharged:
  • Prepaid mobile phone number.
  • Direct to home (DTH) set top box connection (TV subscription Recharging).
  • Toll Tag or Toll card (used at Toll Road Plazas).

3. What are instant recharges?
Under instant recharge, a mobile number or DTH connection number gets recharged instantly with the amount for which it is intended to recharge, subject to deduction of taxes, if any, by the merchant. Instant recharges are also referred to as e-Top up or Flexi recharges.

4. What is a Pin based recharge facility?
Under Pin based recharge, a 12 to 16 digit Pin is sent as an SMS to the mobile number mentioned while buying the Pin. This Pin can be used to recharge the service chosen e.g. a mobile number, a DTH connection number etc., as per the standard processes defined by each operator for their service.

5. How is an instant recharge facility different from a Pin based recharge?
Under instant recharge, the instrument (i.e. mobile, DTH etc.) gets recharged directly by the respective operator.
In Pin based recharge, the customer receives a 12 to 16 digit Pin from Oxigen on a mobile number that the customer provides. This Pin can be used on the operator's IVR /or on the Operator-defined SMS format by the customer, to recharge the mobile number or DTH connection / subscription number. The advantage of Pin based recharge is that the Pin may be used later e.g. a month from the date of purchase, when the customer needs to do so.
