TATA Sky SMS — Recharge Reminder
Good User Experience
Experience:
I am having Tata sky connection at home I prefer to recharge on monthly basis. TATA Sky SMS reminder service is my saviour as most of the times I forget to recharge my account.
I usually receive first reminder SMS before 7 days of deactivation with the clear message.
“Tata Sky ID 123456789 valid till ‘dd-mm- yyyy’ Date. Recharge now with monthly Rs. 560.”
After 3–4 days, I get another reminder SMS with the same message in Hindi. Thanks to my hectic schedule sometimes I forget to recharge connection even after getting 2 reminders.
On the deactivation date, I get another reminder message with clear instruction.
i.e. “Your Tata Sky ID 123456789 will get deactivated TONIGHT. Monthly Charges Rs. ***. Recharge in just three easy steps: Click *****, Link*****”.

When I click on the given link; it navigates me to the payment gateway where my TATA Sky ID and monthly recharge amount is auto-filled.
Overall it’s a good experience as on the last day you don’t need to remember your account id.
