True Balance rolls out new balance check option for Jio users

 

KOLKATA:  True Balance, India’s leading mobile balance  management service app  has launched a new feature of balance  checking on its platform for Jio users.

The mobile balance service provider is the first in the industry to  introduce this facility for all users looking at managing their data  consumption for their Jio accounts.      With Jio being a paid service from April 1 this year, it has now become  imperative for Jio  users to keep a track of their Jio SIM data usage.

  While calls are free on Reliance Jio, users’ balance is now going to be  used to pay for chosen data plans, and of course, excess data  consumption..To make balance tracking simple for users, True Balance  has introduced a balance check option which will enable users to make  the most out of their Reliance Jio 4G SIM without much hassle.

Apart from balance checking and recharge options the app’s main USP  is the alarm screen, which causes an alert when the user hits certain  points in data usage.

Data often depletes, because unknown apps in the background, keep  updating, sucking away the data users have paid for.

True Balance helps alert users  to such leakage. According to recent  reports, 95.2 per cent of Jio users have dual-SIM handsets, suggesting  they might be on another operator’s network too.     This is where True Balance comes into play as it  also helps monitor  multiple SIMS in one view helping users to manage their mobile spends  wisely.

Speaking on their strategy on feature enhancements in India, Mr. Charlie Lee, CEO, True Balance said, ” Whether you’re a Jio Prime user or not,  checking mobile balance is going to be important for all  users. Jio provides  unlimited data but it has a limit of daily data use. ”

” For example, a user who purchase Rs309. combo pack can only use 1GB per day . So it  is important for users to keep a track on their mobile spends and check  their remaining data balance . We have also introduced first kind utilizing  SMS based technology for balance checking which is free and does not  require any data connection, ” he added.

  The app also introduced a recharging feature for Jio users earlier this  month which facilitates easy phone bill payments for users at the click of  a button.

The app which is currently providing recharging options for telecom players including Vodafone, Aircel, Airtel, Idea, BSNL, Reliance, Tata Docomo, Telenor(Uninor),  had recently received a strong demand in the market for the introduction of Jio recharge feature driven primarily due to the telecom player’s recent expansion in the marketshare in India.

True Balance who raised Rs 100 crore in Series B round of funding from  renowned VCs are focusing on enhancing the platform’s features.

Launched in 2014, True Balance has been providing various features  around managing phone bills to pre paid users in India and allows users to know how much data has been consumed, how much money is left and how many days for the next  recharge with just a swipe .

Focussing on the increasing trend of smartphone users in India, the app has seen an exponential user growth in a short period of time thanks to its user-centered UI, attractive in-app design, and ease of use.     The platform aims to have 100 million users in India in 2017 by adding  various recharging features including Wallet point recharging and friend  recharging.
