Google Search has become an intuitive window to services such as flight bookings, SOS alerts, conversions and much more. In addition to these services, Google today announced an impressive prepaid mobile recharge feature for its users in India. It will help the users to recharge the prepaid mobile number simply and rapidly by simply typing ‘prepaid mobile recharge’.

The new feature will allow users to search, compare and recharge their prepaid mobile phones directly from the search page itself. Moreover, the user can compare discounts from retailers including Paytm, Freecharge, Google Pay and MobiKwik.

After confirming the number and carrier details, the user can compare recharge plans, and then can select a third-party recharge platform to complete the transaction. Upon a successful transaction, the app redirects the user back to Google Search with relevant customer support information.

Google Search Prepaid Recharge feature currently supports Airtel, Vodafone-Idea, Jio, and BSNL. Surprisingly, the new feature is limited for Android users until now.

“Prepaid cellular subscribers use a variety of ways to recharge their mobile phone. Today, we make it easier for people in India to recharge prepaid SIMs with a new Google Search experience,” Google said in a blog while announcing the new feature.

Google is planning to add a few more payment providers and a couple more carriers to the list in the coming weeks.
