All you require is running cell phone - even though it is a feature cell phone.
How to use Paytm without Internet or smartphone?
To do this, Paytm has launched a toll-free phone number - 1800 1800 1234 - you will have to call it from your registered mobile number in order to set your PIN. You'll hear a voice message letting you know that you'll get a call back to set the PIN.
After that, you can make payments using Paytm without Internet and smartphone by calling this number, typing in the phone number of the recipient, then the amount, and finally typing in your PIN for confirmation.
Where can this Paytm toll-free number be used?
Even though it's no longer the very best approach for making payments, there may be a number of conditions wherein this selection of using Paytm without internet or smartphones is useful. for example, numerous folks have older household who nevertheless prefer to use feature telephones for the simplicity of use.
For such customers, who're now pressured to transact digitally attributable to the demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. one thousand notes, PayTm toll loose number could be helpful. then again, for those who are still the usage of characteristic telephones because they don't have a smartphone, this number, alongside a visit to a cyber cafe, might be very empowering. And of a path, there also are folks who may prefer to use this method rather than faucet thru a couple of screens on an app.
However, we have to point out that our first several attempts at getting through to Paytm to set a PIN were unsuccessful as the number was routinely busy. It took half an hour of trying before we were able to sign up for the service, and after that, payments were again a problem because the number was busy on the next few tries.
This might just be because of the initial rush for sign ups for the option to use Paytm without Internet and smartphone, but it paints a worrying picture - if someone is trying to make a payment using this method, they might not have access to other forms of online payments, and so if the system fails due to the number being busy, it would be a huge problem.
