After this, Reliance Jio played a new bet by removing JioPhone. In response, companies like Airtel and Vodafone also started providing smartphones to customers cheaply by making cashback offers. But with Airtel’s hike, he took a step further. The company prepared a platform that without internet data, you can see the match score and read the news. It was named ‘Total’. Not only this, you will also be able to avail the benefits of phone recharge and many other internet services without active data.
When the Hike Overall platform was introduced, the company informed that Hike Total could be used on smartphones like Intex Aqua Lions N1, Aqua Lions T1, Aqua T1 Lite and Carbon A40 Indian from March 1. We recently reviewed you to Intex Aqua Lions and explained this product in detail. Now we will make you aware of the shortcomings and merits of the hike total platform. How was our experience while using this platform? We will also share this.
What is Hike Overall?
The user will get the benefit of all the services of Hike Total from the login made by his phone number. In Hike Total, you will be able to take advantage of services like messaging, news, astrology, phone recharge and money transfer without data. This service based on USSD protocol will reach you without using the data of your mobile operator.
Hike Total is the custom version of Android, exactly like Indus OS. Hike Total is particularly a platform designed for the Indian market. It supports 8 Indian languages and is capable of providing some services without internet connection.
Such is the user interface of Hike Total
Hike has not ‘combined’ more than Android Nougat’s UI, it is largely like stock Android. There are offline apps on the left-home screen. These include some important apps like bus tickets and games of the day. You can also try by choosing the app from a bubble while getting up. To use the offline app, you have to verify Airtel SIM by creating a total account.
Only star apps can run offline
You will be able to use the app on which the star comes as a star. Currently apps like Cricket, Recharge, Hike Wallet, Rail Info, News, Messaging, Offline UPI, Total Data Pack are available for offline use. The company says that in the coming time and the app will be made part of it.
Data Pack for Hike Overall
Data packs for hike total phones are different and are quite discounts but currently they are valid for Airtel users. There is a plan of 1 rupee for 20 MB, which runs 1 day. At the same time, you will have to spend Rs 49 for 1 GB of data. Its validity is for 28 days. However, nothing has been clarified as to when these prices of data packs will remain valid. There is only the option of hike wallet to buy these packs. You get a bonus of up to 200 rupees after completing the KYC process. You have to submit Aadhaar card, driving license or any government certified identity card.
our experience
These were the information which belongs to the essential aspects of this platform. Now we tell you about the experience of using it. Explain that this hike total platform has been created by hike. In such a situation, you will get a SIM of Airtel while buying a phone of Intex or Carbon Mobiles. The offline app on Hike platform will run without internet. But this does not mean that Airtel’s services will be free. That is, you have to get regular recharge every month.
Attempts have been made to capture the Indian user’s pulse in Hike Total. The company has chosen a category like messaging, cricket and astrologer very thoughtfully for offline use. Because we have a habit of chatting on the phone. Can not live without cricket and who does not like to know your luck first.
The people of all the apps associated with the hike total platform clearly explain their identity. In such a situation, you will not have trouble reaching these apps. It is also easy to use them. Nothing seems strange. Now take the cricket app itself. Cricket scores tap on this. You can change the pages by swipe and the scores of different matches will start appearing.
In this, user will be able to chat with friends on hike from the Hike Messenger app. It also works like a common SMS app. Before sending the message, it checks the other user’s hike. After this it switchs to the chat interface. Hike Messenger also works offline. With this, you can send text messages and stickers without internet connection. If you want to send a picture or a large file, you have to buy a data pack.
You can know your horoscope by putting a date of birth in the Horoscope and the facility to see the horoscope is also available. Many users will like the news section. Because on the pretext of this app, you can be aware of the developments of the country and the world. We used all these apps. The response took some time many times which was probably due to the smartphone. But there is no major complaint about the platform.
These things are of offline model. But it is not that the company has decided to give everything to customers for free. The company has also launched special data packs. There is a plan of 1 rupee for 20 MB, which runs 1 day. At the same time, you will have to spend Rs 49 for 1 GB of data. Its validity is for 28 days. For this, hike wallet will have to be used. Initially, the user who signed up on this platform is getting hike money up to Rs 200. By the way, we got 60 rupees for sign up. Hopefully your luck will be better. Verification of wallet is mandatory and we have already told you about it.
There is no couplet in this, the use of Airtel through hike platform is very unlikely. The shortage is just in the handset selected by the company which does not look perfectly fit for this type of use. So far, if users who use feature phones are shifted to this phone, then they will not find much strange. But users like us who have become accustomed to better quality smartphones than before, will knock a lot. And this will also affect the image of hike total platform. But the total platform of Airtel and Hike is a commendable effort, no matter its future.
