Challanges
  • Customers had to have an access to the internet to be able to recharge their account or check a balance.
  • Referral program needed additional communication channels to improve its performance.
How the Product Helped
  • Created a feature allowing customers to check their balance by simple texting B to assigned number. It pulls data from the account and gives information only to the phone number(s) registered for that particular account.
  • Created a feature allowing adding new phone numbers to ‘My ttags’ section by texting the number and the name of people you want to call. By sending necessary information, customers receive a confirmation and the local ttag number through which they can call with one touch.
  • As ttag is famous with its rewarding referral programs it was appropriate to create a feature which will help ttag family members to share their experience with their friends through simple SMS and get rewards for every sign-up they referred.
