Sapati

Following the request of NTA to support users who cannot recharge their account in this lockdown, Ncell increases the amount of Sapati up to Rs 200. The loan amount depends on the usage of the sim card. That means if the customer recharges its account frequently and have high usage, then you will get Rs 200.

Although there are people who can recharge your phone while staying at home or anywhere online. But still, there are people who will be barred from their balance top-up using physical recharge cards. Similarly, some people couldn’t earn some money will also be deprived of some balance.

Staying connected with their family, friends, and business is also one of the basic requirements at this time. So, considering those issues, Ncell has brought the service to facilitate those people.

Now, Ncell customers can send the balance to another Ncell number free of charge. Previously they used to charge some amount for the balance transfer.

  • They also had the limitation of sending the balance 3 times only which is now increased to 20 times.
  • It is only the number of times you can transfer the balance but also the amount of single transfer and the total money that can be sent.
  • The per transaction amount has been made to Rs 500 while the upper limit of the total transaction in a day is Rs 10,000.

How to send the money?

You can send the balance to another Ncell number by dialing *17122*<Mobile number to transfer>*<Type transfer amount>#.

Let’s say you want to send Rs 100 balance to another Ncell number then you need to dial *17122*98XXXXXXXX*100# where 98XXXXXXXXX is the receiver’s number.

With this service, you can always ask your friends and family for the balance. Similarly, you also need to be generous enough to help others with this tough situation.

If you are looking for a cheap voice pack for this difficult time and also the unlimited one, we recommend you to read all the Ncell voice packs.

Ncell had been spreading awareness in people about the coronavirus through their PRBT or ring tone. Now that the situation arrived at complete shutdown, Ncell tries to soothe people for the communication services.

As the phone and internet usage will be high, we suggest you use internet service responsibly.
