THE CHANGING SPREE

By July 25, 2013

Yes, it’s becoming a habit now. We’ve made a small change and we want you to be the first to know.

90677_39668-hunter-change-is-good-zip-coin-purse-flamingo-pink_large

‘FreeCharge Balance’ is now called ‘Credits’.

Why? Well, we put ourselves in your shoes (yes, we do that too) and thought… account balance, prepaid balance, FreeCharge Balance? We can get more creative than that, can’t we? Jokes apart, it does get a little confusing. So why confuse when you can change? After all change is good, right? We’d love to know what you think. Rave and rant in the comments section!

If you’re thinking “What was FreeCharge Balance in the first place?” you must be new here or you’ve never been unlucky to have failed recharges (yay!). Balance (now known and referred to as Credits) is where we park your funds in case your payment goes through but your recharge doesn’t. You can use this anytime for future recharging. That’s not all, you can also deposit money in your Credits and speed up the recharging process. Read more about it here.

Like someone said, the only thing that is constant is change. Stay tuned for more changes at FreeCharge!

    nice but I was very frustrated when 10-15 days ago I tried to recharge on my BSNL mobile for an Interenet Package and Recharge failed 4-5 times and my Rs. were stuck in FreeCharge Balance .

    After Contacting to the customer Support they informed me that FreeCharge now does not include BSNL Internet Pack Recharge (then why the site shows that recharge available!!!!!) …..

    so fix that

    Good move, One suggestion with the name change would be to award people with ‘credit’ (read it as cash back) whenever certain amount/times recharge is done

    Well… This is a good move… I appreciate it.

    But somewhere I feel that freecharge is capable of presenting much more bigger picture in mobile world by entering into the space of other mobile services, eg. spam free wallpapers download, or some selected ringtones download, or may be new technology and upcoming mobile trends, Tech. mobile specs and curtain raisers and other stuff too.

    Well I know it is not just like switching it on… requires lots of planning and forecasting stuff but….

    Just an Idea!! 🙂

    AS SENT THROUGH EMAIL THE ECOUPONS NEED NOT BE CHARGED. AND TO PAY THROUGH THE CREDIT, FREECHARGE BALANCE, THE COUPONS SHOULD BE DOUBLE DENOMINATION. THUS EVERYONE WILL FILL THE WALLET(FREECHARGE CREDIT) FIRST BEFORE RECHARGING. LIMITING THE No OF COUPONS ALSO SHOULD GO.
