| Q1. If you do not have a WAP enabled facility? |
 |
A. For all those who do not have the WAP enabled facility, IDBI provides SMS (Short Message Service). SMS is the facility to send and receive short alpha-numeric messages to and from mobile phones. The service is available to all the customers who maintain Savings, Current Accounts or Fixed Deposits with IDBI, at no extra cost (However, the service provider may charge some nominal charges. Some of the service providers provide this facility as a complementary service). SMS can be enabled without any additional device. For sending SMS messages, speech SIM card would suffice.
Basic Requirement
- Get the phone enabled for SMS service from your service provider
- Set the SMSC message Centre Number on the mobile phone once your operator provides this number
- Register yourself as a user with the respective branch of idbi bank with whom you have your accounts
