    Sooraj & Varun
    I guess mChek is down from few days.
    Better keep checking their site.
    And there is no extra charge for any transactions as of now

    mcheck maybe violating a patent on USSD based communication. Check this out,US Patent 6330445 - Method and system for routing of a USSD message

    we wanted to use the same thing for our implementation but stayed away fromit.

    @ Jerome:

    No there is no transaction fees charged by Airtel. Infact there was an offer in my circle (Orissa) wherein by recharging using you mChek a/c of Rs. 155 you’ll get balance in the main a/c of Rs. 255. :) Isn’t it kuel?

    Well if you have downloaded mChek application than you have to follow the procedure from the application, else you can send an sms: “RECHARGE ” to 543219 and you’ll be directed to enter your pin and you are done :)

    I got mcheck installed on my mobile some two months back & I was trying to get my debit card linked to that. But everytime, when I do that, it is accepting the request & says I will get a notification when the service is available …. I think mcheck is down at the moment.. Guys do confirm me if you faced a similar prob ..

    @Vivek - I am using mChek in Orissa and its working fine right from the day the service was available.. Check out whether the service is available for your state or not..
