The good news comes from Vodafone Idea users in UP West where they can now charge their phones at over 6,500 Kirana and pharmacies in the region. On Wednesday, the telecom operator announced the availability of these new options so that customers do not have to go too far from their home and successfully maintain crucial social distancing due to the Covid-19 situation. Consumers in this region faced the difficult task of recharging their phones due to the mandatory nationwide lockdown of the Center and subsequent closure of internet charging points. This new option is particularly advantageous for those who do not have access to digital charging modes. Since only essential shops and service providers are open in UP West for the time being, it was natural to provide these shops with the necessary charging capabilities, according to the telecom operator. Also, top-ups are not possible through online facilitators like PhonePe or PayTm via multifunction phones.
