There are many apps these days that can help you carry out a mobile recharge anywhere and anytime. The big downside of it is that many of these apps require an internet connection to work and carry out the recharge. If you are at a tough spot that you need to do a recharge; however, you do not have an internet connection or have to use a feature phone which doesn’t have a data connection, you may not have a way to recharge. To remedy situations such as these, one of the best mobile recharge apps that you can use is the Airtel Money Wallet. The Airtel Money Wallet is the online wallet from one of the telecom leaders in India, Bharti Airtel.
