Bharti Airtel, an integrated telecom services provider headquartered in India, has launched its m-commerce service – ‘Mchek on Airtel’ on the voice platform. This service enables use of voice (IVR) for m-commerce transactions for all Airtel mobile customers. The customer has to call 543219 to access the service which is toll free.

The new service will enable Airtel customers to pay Airtel mobile and fixed-line bills, recharge the company’s pre-paid and digitalTV accounts, recharge Delhi-Gurgaon expressway toll tags, pay insurance premiums, buy gifts, tickets and shop using their mobile phones.

To avail this service, Airtel customers has to go through a one-time registration that will link the user’s credit card automatically to the Mchek on Airtel service. For all future transactions the user is required to only enter a six-digit MchekPIN on their registered mobile number to authorise the transaction.

The service provides an on-demand solution for mobile payments with a two-step authentication process, the MchekPIN and the Mobile Number.
