- You will get options to choose your loan.
- Select the one as per your need.
By Message
- Go to message and leave it blank then send the message to 9988.
- You will have your loan service activated.
The loan amount is paid off when you recharge your main balance. However, if you transfer the main balance which is lower than the loan, the whole amount will be deducted and the remaining loan amount will again be drawn from your next recharge. So make sure that your first recharge after the loan amount will clear out the loan amount at once and also leave enough main balance for calls and texts.
