How to recharge your Vodafone Idea number via SMS and missed call
HIGHLIGHTS

Vodafone Idea customers can now recharge their smartphone by simply sending an SMS and giving a missed call.

This is primarily to help 2G customers who don't have access to fast internet to use apps and can't visit a local shop in light of the lockdown.

Users need to have an account on SBI, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, Indusind or HDFC banks.

With the lockdown in place, it is hard for some to recharge their smartphones. Once the balance, data or validity is over, one will have to rely on a friend to recharge their number. Service providers like Vodafone Idea, Reliance Jio and Airtel have made it possible that people can recharge their phones via ATMs. Vodafone Idea is offering users up to 6 per cent as a cashback if they recharge someone's number using the MyVodafone or MyIdea app. 

Adding to this, Vodafone Idea is giving customers the ability to recharge their device via an SMS and a missed call. To use the service, one needs to have an account with one of the following banks – SBI Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Bank, Indusind Bank or HDFC Bank. Below is a step by step guide on how to recharge your smartphone via an SMS along with the corresponding numbers for each bank.
