In next step, Auto-Recharge will be activated after typing the amount and entering bKash PIN.

To activate the service through USSD code, customers need to dial *247# and select ‘Mobile Recharge’ option, then select Banglalink, Robi or Airtel. In next step, users need to choose ‘Auto-Recharge’ and select ‘Activate Auto-Recharge’ option. Then the users need to enter the amount of auto-recharge. Finally, the auto-recharge will be activated after entering bKash PIN.

Once the auto-recharge is activated, the mobile number will be recharged automatically whenever customers’ balance reaches Tk 10 or less. Customers can change the amount as per his/her requirement at any time.

Customers can auto-recharge their own number only with any amount from Tk 20 to Tk 1,000. In this case, customers must have sufficient balance in bKash account. Auto-recharge is available up to 3 times a day. However, if there is any recharge package linked to the specified auto-recharge amount, it can also be activated by the mobile operator.
