their mobile simply by sending recharge SMS to the recharge providers number, so that mobile user need
not login into respective provider’s site every time. This project uses GPRS (high-speed packet data
technology allows for the sending and receiving of data at much higher speed than available today), Long
code (10 digit virtual number which is a reception mechanism used by business people to
receive text messages). This application is mainly to provide long term relationship with the customer.

I.Introduction
In the history of mobile communication technology, Wireless network is the fastest growing one.
For cell phone users, there are two types of services such as prepaid and post-paid offered by the mobile
phone operators. Prepaid service is commonly used among the people. In case of prepaid service, cell
phone users have to maintain a certain balance of money to use some facility. Here comes the idea of
mobile phone recharge. People often find it difficult to recharge because of lack of recharge centres, the
user need to travel for a long distances to buy a recharge card etc.
Nowadays, with the development of web services people gets varieties of services sitting home.
Mobile recharge is one of the most frequent demands for most of the people, hence this service also helps
the service provider for gaining some profit. In the existing system, people should send a request to the
recharge service provider using webpage by providing the details such as country code, mobile number
and payment using credit card. But recharge service providers should recharge the mobile phones by
physically and they have to wait for certain time, which is occasionally not acceptable. So here we are
creating an app called multi recharging in which the user can recharge to their mobile by sending SMS.
Our aim is to overcome the limitations with possible outcomes and to reduce the waiting time and make it
comfortable for both the customer and mobile recharge service providers.
