move yes, literally! All that needs to be done before is the following:

Make sure you have added money to your Paytm Cash.

The uniqueness about recharge through SMS or Toll free number is this can be done on the go without going away from the phone. After the above steps, all you need to do is type Paytm <space> <amount> and send SMS to 988-000-1234. You are not an SMS person ? No issues! We have another option for you; dial our Toll free number 1800-1800-1234 from your registered mobile number and follow the instructions to recharge your phone.

  8. Cant we recharge those STV (scheme recharge) on the go through SMS?

  9. Right now it’s sms to 9880001234:

    PAYTM
    to recharge ONLY your own registered mobile.

    How about SOON making it:
    SMS to 9880001234:
    PAYTM
    Just to recharge any mobile number THAT YOU WANT.

  10. Its good that you start recharge through sms but it is self recharge . We can not recharge other person number through these services. Try to start these type of services also.

    • agreed, if we could recharge any mobile with this feature.. that would be mind blowing :)

  11. best

  12. best service

  13. Very Good service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The no provided on the page is wrong….Correct this.

  14. Amazing Service

  18. What an idea sir ji. Great JoB. :)

  19. it is very bad online recharge site because i recharged 2 or 3 times but i didn’t get my balance as well as deducted my balance in my bank account i complained but they didn’t refund my money.

    • I can’t accept this kind of remark for a remarkable service provider like Paytm. I am using the service since more than six months and done numberous recharges, but never faced the issue of money getting deducted and recharge not done.
      Even though it happens sometime due to high trafffic load for a particular service provider, the best thing is that the amount which is deducted from our bank/c.card account is stored in the form of Paytm Cash which we can use the next time we try.
      I rate 10/10 to their service. Hat’s off to Paytm team. I have already recommend Paytm service to all of my near & dear ones and they are very happy with the service quality.

      Thanks for introducing this new service, but please extend the option to recharge mobiles than the registered one as already requested by many.

      Good job!! KEEP IT UP.

    • my registered mob num is deactivated and it took my paytm cash also. this is cheating. now it says that my mob num is not registered.
      what the hell is this…..???

      • Hey Shwetank, We are really sorry mate, as it happened due to some technical issue. Good news is that we have reactivated your account now.

        You may again use this account hassle-free.

        Happy Recharging…!! :)

  20. Not interested.

    Now, if I can make a payment to a person, because the other person is not savvy enough to understand Net banking, that would be something.

  21. i did not get the recharge but money has dedcuted from the account ..what the hell is dis??

  22. Fantastic services..

  23. Yaar very good service. which can recharge without net connectivity.

    Thanx paytm..save cruisel time in busy days

  24. Hey paytm, please unblock my facebook page to write on your timeline/wall.

    and, we cant call the toll free number from AIRTEL numbers as it’s a invalid number from AIRTEL…

  25. Hello Paytm ,If possible,then plz add a one new process in your ‘Recharge On The Move’..
    **Please allow us also to recharge our Friends and other’s mobile number By dialing you Toll Free number 1800-1800-1234..
    This is our Humble Request..!!! Thank You..
    :-) :)

  26. nice service yar keep it up.

  27. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD RECHARGE OTHER’S NUMBER THROUGH SMS/CALL…..

  28. LOL

  29. Plz do provide an option to recharge other mobiles through Toll free number and SMS rather than recharging only to the registered mobile number..It would get an extraordinary response from the customers as they can recharge any mobile from their mobile…

  30. Nice info….thanks for making technology, so useful.

  31. PAYTM WEBSITE IS VERY, VERY, USEFUL FOR ALL MOBILE USERS

  32. Please provide a link for home page after recharge page.

  33. Great job.. :) Paytm you Rock..!!

  34. great service. i got instant messege of recharge and my reliance big tv strated working at once great.

  35. Dear PayTM mastermind,
    Why don’t you make paytm more exciting by giving users 1% discount on every recharge. ……It’s a suggestion.

    • To my knowledge, retailers earn Rs. 3.xx on a recharge of Rs. 100. One of my local retailer told me that. Don’t know if its exactly true!
      As Paytm’s network might also be functioning like a local retailer, they’d been earning a similar amount. And, If I’m right then it won’t be possible for them to give discounts to everyone. They incur server costs and other upkeep charges too.

      @Paytm: Please correct if I’m wrong :)

  36. i just love paytm , really paytm does instant recharge than all and reliable too…

  37. twinkle twinkle little star
    paytm is rockstar…

  44. Paytm is ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK….

  45. You people rock. I guess you are the only one who provide “special recharge” option and now this.
    Keep up the good work.

  46. We must be able to recharge other Mobile/DTH/Data Card numbers also along with the registered Mobile Number in Paytm.
    The current feature is “Never Heard Of” a kind.AWESOME :D

  47. can we recharge other mobiles using this facility?

  48. this site is really good…even m using it..but d case is dat m not able to recharge of amount more than 10/-(aircel)… when i did recharge of 25/- (i recharge more than 5 times) ,d message shows dat d transaction is successful…but unluckily i havn’t got my those balance yet…
    i hav given complain to it…. but no response…..
    i want my those 25 +25+25+25 rupees back…

  49. SMS and call both option for recharging my mobile without internet connection are not working for my number. please check out the same.

    • You can recharge your family and friends number by dialing PAYTM toll free number, but only the thing is recharging number should not be ported to other service provider.

    Thanks ALL To Paytm Team.
    Paytm is amazzzzing……..

    Chakk DE PhaTtE………….

  100. Ported number recharge(MNP) is still an issue with all online recharge providers after porting the mob num to another provider the recharge fails the balance gets deducted but no recharge however they refund but the purpose isn’t served .Still not sure what is the issue? Can someone throw some light?

    • Online recharge for ported number is possible. Only you have to select new service provider manually.

  101. It is possible to recharge others mobile from my registered mobile by dialing PAYTM toll free number only if others mobile number is not ported from one service provider to another. If it is ported we cannot recharge others mobile number. How to recharge others ported number?

  102. Dear Paytm,

    I can’t recharge to a ported number in toll free number, no option for that,

    Please solve that problem

  103. IN my “Profile” page in “My Account”. Ticking the “Recharge on SMS or Toll free no. is not available
    So how can i enable the SMS or Toll free no. recharge facility”.
    Please reply soon.

  104. Very nice.. I want to have it. :) Thanks…
