Indus OS partners FreeCharge to integrate payment features

Homegrown firm Indus OS has partnered Snapdeal-owned FreeCharge to integrate the latter's digital payment solutions within the operating system on a smartphone.
Following the integration, over 6 million users of Indus OS will now be able access features like call charges, balance and recharge in one click with FreeCharge.
"Recharge 2.0 on the Indus Dialer will, for the first time ever, empower and allow for a seamless and simplified recharge experience for Indian smartphone users powered through FreeCharge," Indus OS CEO Rakesh Deshmukh said.
Powered by an OS-level integration, Recharge 2.0 encourages smart usage of prepaid balance (that makes up for over 90 per cent of India's telecom market) along with an intuitive mobile recharge experience powered by FreeCharge, he added.

Users get instant information of current balance on the main dialer screen. They can also analyse historical balance and compare daily, weekly and monthly balance usage across talktime, data and SMS. They can also set thresholds to receive low balance alerts.
