New Delhi, March 4 Bharti Airtel has launched a range of M-Commerce solutions in a wide-ranging partnership with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, Corporation Bank, VISA and mChek.

Through this initiative Airtel subscribers with a credit or debit card can now transfer money, pay bills, recharge their phones, buy movie, air and rail tickets instantly on the mobile. Subscribers will however have to pay the normal service charge to the bank which issues the credit card.

The solution has been developed by mChek, a provider of mobile security and payment solutions.

Existing Airtel customers can get started by sending a text message “Airtel” to 543219 and then download an application to their GPRS-enabled handset. Airtel is planning to install the platform for all new subscribers in the SIM card itself.
