Please post your experiences with the UPI. Looks like it's going to be the next big thing and everyone will be using it to some extent. I don't have a smartphone so will welcome any experiences with UPI using smartphone.

I just saw an ad on TV saying that you can use UPI even if your phone does not have internet; and decided to give it a try.

  1. Dialled *99#.
  2. Got a message asking me to input 3 characters to identify the bank name.
  3. Replied with "UBI".
  4. It sent back another SMS giving out a menu of services (1. Balance check, 2. make payment etc..etc..).
  5. Replied with 1 (balance check). Got a reply saying "Phone number is not registered". Surprised, because my phone no. is registered in the bank. Will check with the bank about it.
  6. Tried again using "CBI" (central bank).
  7. Got a message saying "External service is down".

Ok. First time. The application recognizes the bank name, has some issues further on. Will improve in due time, just as with the railway enquiries message.

Please post your experiences.

Yes, for SBI , NUUP not registered is coming for me as well.
Even though Mob no. is registered, we have to re register it at ATM/branch/net banking.
go to http://freedom.onlinesbi.com/

There they have listed the one time process for each of the methods.
MMID and MPin has to be created.
If you have net banking enabled then it can be done from home as well.

Visited the bank and explained the problem. They checked and said that my mobile was already in their system. They updated it and said "Check it now". Didn't work. Still got the same message.

Got 2 SMS from the bank. 1 gave me my MPIN, 2 asked me to download GPRS app :(

Don't know what to do.. will write to the customer care.

And best part of UPI, it costs 50 paise.
They were knocking 2.5-2.75 for IMPS under 10k.
What is 50 paisa cost ?? Per transaction ??

Thanks. Will try it again. At present getting error "External Application Down" error.

Funny thing : The employees at the Bank are totally flummoxed by the old "buttonwala" phone. No one is really sure how to work it :D :D
