mChek on Airtel – Mobile Based Payment System in India [m-commerce]

Update: We are unable to help you with your technical queries regarding mCheck. Please contact their official support: [email protected]. Thanks Pralhad. 🙂


mChek on AirtelmChek is a new payment system that link your debit/credit card or SBI bank account to your mobile phone, allowing you to make payments from your mobile phone. Once registered you can pay your phone bills, transfer talktime to your friends accounts, book tickets for flights, movies etc from mobile via simple instructions.

They have tie-up with Airtel which allows Airtel subscribers to download mChek application which provides simple graphic interface to use mChek. There are no charges for downloading as well as using mChek as of now. I tested it and its working really nice.

Download instructions:

  • SMS AIRTEL to 543219
  • You will get a reply containing a link to download mChek.
  • Don’t worry about downloading charges. Its free!

varun ganjir August 18, 2008

mchek is not working in my mobile. my set is totaly compatible for gprs & also java supported. my set name is motorola L-7. is their any risk when i use debit card or sbi debit card.

varun ganjir August 18, 2008

is their any extra charges for each tranjection.

Rahul Bansal August 19, 2008

Sooraj & Varun
I guess mChek is down from few days.
Better keep checking their site.
And there is no extra charge for any transactions as of now

Jason September 9, 2008

mcheck maybe violating a patent on USSD based communication. Check this out,US Patent 6330445 – Method and system for routing of a USSD message

we wanted to use the same thing for our implementation but stayed away fromit.

Rahul Bansal September 11, 2008

@Jason
I am not much aware about inside information regarding mChek.
I only now its not working well enough recently.
May be they are going through some sort of problem.

Jerome September 22, 2008

Hi
I just gave my bank Debit Card Number. May i know how to recharge the Pre-Paid airtel number. do they take any transaction fee???

thanks
Jerome

Deepak September 22, 2008

@ Jerome:

No there is no transaction fees charged by Airtel. Infact there was an offer in my circle (Orissa) wherein by recharging using you mChek a/c of Rs. 155 you’ll get balance in the main a/c of Rs. 255. 🙂 Isn’t it kuel?

Well if you have downloaded mChek application than you have to follow the procedure from the application, else you can send an sms: “RECHARGE ” to 543219 and you’ll be directed to enter your pin and you are done 🙂

masrook September 28, 2008

Vivek October 1, 2008

I got mcheck installed on my mobile some two months back & I was trying to get my debit card linked to that. But everytime, when I do that, it is accepting the request & says I will get a notification when the service is available …. I think mcheck is down at the moment.. Guys do confirm me if you faced a similar prob ..

Deepak Jain October 2, 2008

@Vivek – I am using mChek in Orissa and its working fine right from the day the service was available.. Check out whether the service is available for your state or not..

huda October 23, 2008

Dear sir,
How to make postpaid bill for airtel through mchek, that too using debit card.

Vivek November 8, 2008

@huda – @huda … mchek isn’t working at all … waste of speaking about this … i have been trying hard for months with no success .. even i called customer care which is of no use

Vivek November 10, 2008

@Deepak Jain – If that’s the case, why should it work for certain cities only .. not for all the cities… No where its mentioned or informed that if applies to certain cities.. Sorry not interested with this stuff & waste my time any more

@Deepak Jain – ABHI TAK MCHEK NE MERE RUPE WAPAS NAHI KIA 9934443088

Deepak Jain November 12, 2008

@mahmood
I said you, either write a complain to Nodal officer or visit nearest ARC.

James December 9, 2008

i recently registered with mcheck.
while adding an account:
Firstly, it is not accepting the 1st six digits of my Debit card number (while registering the debit card).
Second, while directly registering the account an automated reply comes on the screen stating ‘This service is unavailable. We will inform you when it is available with SBI’.
Isn’t the facility available with SBI as of now?

Rahul Bansal December 20, 2008

@James
I guess mChek is having some problem as many other user also complained.
I personally stop using it from long time.

jyotish kumar December 20, 2008

pralhad December 17, 2009

Please visit http://www.mchek.com for more info on mchek.

mChek is a mobile payment solution which securely links your credit or debit card to your mobile number and helps make payments from your mobile.

As of now mChek supports debit cards only for ICICI, Standard Chartered and HDFC Banks. Please contact respective bank Customer care to apply for mChek debit cards.

I will update you as and when new Banks come on board mChek to enable mChek debit cards to consumers.

Any queries request you to send an email [email protected]

Pralhad December 17, 2009

Also, would request everyone to mention their mobile numbers while posting queries here. I will ensure someone from mChek support addresses your queries.

thanks

Dilip August 19, 2010

Topping up my prepaid Airtel with MChek I get the message that you have already used your monthly limit of Rs 750, please try next month!! I haven’t set any such limit either on my mChek account or my credit card, and there is no provision on mChek account management to increase the limit. On mChek’s website, I can’t find any customer service phone numbers and their “Contact Us” page is the most uninformative of all websites I have seen. Very strange company!

Priyasish August 24, 2010

Hallo Sir. I m 4m orissa. I ve dwnlded mchek into my cell. Wen i m going to enter my 1st 6 digits of my SBI Debit card it is not accessing. Infact i enter d accurate nos. Plz mail me d solution as earlier as possible with +ve answrs thanking u sir.
