Yamuna, its accessible  in iPhone. With regard to android, its hardly
manageable. Light version was shared to me in any of the whatsapp
group. It has very limitted functionality though, like recharge and
bill pay only. If you want to have its APK file for your android
phone, just send me a whatsapp message (999 999 6464)

Please tell me where to get the Lite version from - I  can't find it on Android 
Playstore, and the normal Thanks app is totally accessible - how are you 
finding it partially accessible?
I'm seeing things like:
Profile_Landing_Nav_Header_Title_Text
OneAirtelShadow_Child_getChildren

Screen-readers  seem to be reading Window names and not Window contents so 
there's very little guesswork one can make, while displayed text on buttons and 
links will not be seen.
Somehow the Thanks App is exposing things unconventionally to the 
screen-readers. I don't know technically what's behind the problem. Does anyone 
know here?
I want to activate my Amazon Prime OTT from my Fibre subscription extras.
It's unreasonable that for such things we have to get sighted help while logged 
into our personal accounts.

Any thoughts?

@Yamuna, you will be able to pay your airtel bills from third party apps like 
paytm or amazon or gpay for that matter. What you need to know, your customer 
id or fiber landline number and you will have to choose plan and proceed to 
payment, in this case you will bypass inaccessible airtel interface.
As i mentioned in my earlier message, i followed the link that was sent to me 
by airtel through text message, all of my details were already filled over 
there, i simply chose the plan and proceed to payment through my airtel axis 
bank credit card. For bills and other prepaid recharges of my prepaid airtel

airtel light app which is fully accessible with limited functionality.

The difficulty with paying phone or utility bill via the bank's interface is 
that this is time taking, and some times, requires entering of multiple OTPs. 
SBI for instance, requires you to enter two types of different passwords, Login 
password and Profile password. The latter is required while making the payment 
and then would ask for an OTP. Further, you need to repeat this process each 
time you need to pay some bill. On the other hand, UPI is one time setup, 
faster, and much more efficient and the UPI pin is always the same so you can 
easily remember it. Most of the popular UPI apps offer additional security 
wherein you can choose to authenticate using an additional pin or your

Do they send you a link by E-mail or something like that which takes you to the

would do it from the bank directly? If I remember correctly those links are

The trick with airtel is not to use their site. 

 

Use your bank or paytm to pay your bill.

@Yamuna, you will be able to pay your airtel bills from third party
apps like paytm or amazon or gpay for that matter. What you need to
know, your customer id or fiber landline number and you will have to
choose plan and proceed to payment, in this case you will bypass
inaccessible airtel interface.
As i mentioned in my earlier message, i followed the link that was
sent to me by airtel through text message, all of my details were
already filled over there, i simply chose the plan and proceed to
payment through my airtel axis bank credit card. For bills and other
prepaid recharges of my prepaid airtel number, i use airtel thanks app
only as its partially accessible or i use airtel light app which is
fully accessible with limited functionality.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Bharat]

I have already approached their Nodle officer. they assured me that
within 2 weeks they would make the app accessible.

It has been over a year since that promise. They have been sleeping on
that promise.

Airtel is one of the most insensitive companies i have ever known.

Thank you,

Bharat.

@Yamuna, you will be able to pay your airtel bills from third party
apps like paytm or amazon or gpay for that matter. What you need to
know, your customer id or fiber landline number and you will have to
choose plan and proceed to payment, in this case you will bypass
inaccessible airtel interface.
As i mentioned in my earlier message, i followed the link that was
sent to me by airtel through text message, all of my details were
already filled over there, i simply chose the plan and proceed to
payment through my airtel axis bank credit card. For bills and other
prepaid recharges of my prepaid airtel number, i use airtel thanks app
only as its partially accessible or i use airtel light app which is
fully accessible with limited functionality.

Thanks Minar for clarification. I haven't tried auto debit by SBI.


Ever since the UPI came, I almost gave up on internet banking.

The difficulty with paying phone or utility bill via the bank's
interface is that this is time taking, and some times, requires entering
of multiple OTPs. SBI for instance, requires you to enter two types of
different passwords, Login password and Profile password. The latter is
required while making the payment and then would ask for an OTP.
Further, you need to repeat this process each time you need to pay some
bill. On the other hand, UPI is one time setup, faster, and much more
efficient and the UPI pin is always the same so you can easily remember
it. Most of the popular UPI apps offer additional security wherein you
can choose to authenticate using an additional pin or your fingerprint
when you open the app. This way, no one except you can even open your app.

Hi Yamuna,

I can speak about HDFC Bank. You go to their bill pay system and need
to add your service provider. Once added, the bill amount will be
deducted automatically from the next time.

You have a web page where you need to add your relationship, phone
number etc for airtel. You then just follow the prompts.

Who do you bank with?

Hi Pranav,

You say it is possible to use the bank’s interface to pay the bill.

Do they send you a link by E-mail or something like that which takes
you to the payment gateway of your Bank to login and pay from there?
Or please say how you would do it from the bank directly? If I
remember correctly those links are only active for 30 minutes or so
and then they expire. That’s what happened when they signed me up for
the first time: the agent sent me a link by Whatsapp but by the time I
managed to get in the link had expired. He sent it again then it
worked. It took me to the Airtel page to show the payment details,
allowed me to click the Pay button which directed the browser to the
Login for ICICI, and once logged in there was a direct option to pay
with OTP to confirm from my phone number linked to my ICICI account.
Is this how it works?

Thanks.

Use your bank or paytm to pay your bill.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Satguru Rathi]

The difficulty with paying phone or utility bill via the bank's 
interface is that this is time taking, and some times, requires entering 
of multiple OTPs. SBI for instance, requires you to enter two types of 
different passwords, Login password and Profile password. The latter is 
required while making the payment and then would ask for an OTP. 
Further, you need to repeat this process each time you need to pay some 
bill. On the other hand, UPI is one time setup, faster, and much more 
efficient and the UPI pin is always the same so you can easily remember 
it. Most of the popular UPI apps offer additional security wherein you 
can choose to authenticate using an additional pin or your fingerprint 
when you open the app. This way, no one except you can even open your app.



With best regards,
Satguru Rathi.

Hi Yamuna,

 

I can speak about HDFC Bank. You go to their bill pay system and need to add 
your service provider. Once added, the bill amount will be deducted 
automatically from the next time. 

 

You have a web page where you need to add your relationship, phone number etc 
for airtel. You then just follow the prompts.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

Wallet are just an aditional thing where you can load money to the
wallet from debit or credit card and use it directly for recharges and
bill payment with out debitting the money from your bank account.
Wallet is helpful in most of the cases where you need to pay small
amount to buy something at store or online. Some time you are rewarded
or get some cashback into the wallet as per the ongoing offer. Paytm
wallet, Amazon wallet, Mobikwik wallet and payzapp wallet are popular
wallets in the market and reward you for transacting using the wallet
balance. In most of the cases you can also transfer wallet balance to
your bank account if KYC is done.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Yamuna Jivana Dasa (Yogan Khandoo)]

Hi Mohib,

Thanks for your replies. I don't understand what is the "wallet", Google 
wallet or PayTM wallet concept.
Do they not only serve as a gateway between your bank and your payment 
recipient? Or do you have to top up their wallet first from your bank 
account before you can pay from those platforms, in which case it would not 
be an automatic gateway between your bank balance and the payee you are 
paying?


Once my Aadhaar card is fixed can I use Aadhaar as KYC? What else do they 
require? I mean Google Pay?


You said Airtel Thanks App is parcially accessible - I did not get the same 
experience - most of the stuff on screen appears to be nonsensical links I 
can't exactly know what they are, and I can't find out where to even login.

But I will try the airtel light App and see how that goes.

Thanks for all the info.

@Yamuna, you will be able to pay your airtel bills from third party
apps like paytm or amazon or gpay for that matter. What you need to
know, your customer id or fiber landline number and you will have to
choose plan and proceed to payment, in this case you will bypass
inaccessible airtel interface.
As i mentioned in my earlier message, i followed the link that was
sent to me by airtel through text message, all of my details were
already filled over there, i simply chose the plan and proceed to
payment through my airtel axis bank credit card. For bills and other
prepaid recharges of my prepaid airtel number, i use airtel thanks app
only as its partially accessible or i use airtel light app which is
fully accessible with limited functionality.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Yamuna Jivana Dasa (Yogan Khandoo)]

Hi Pranav,
You say it is possible to use the bank’s interface to pay the bill.
Do they send you a link by E-mail or something like that which takes you to the 
payment gateway of your Bank to login and pay from there? Or please say how you 
would do it from the bank directly? If I remember correctly those links are 
only active for 30 minutes or so and then they expire. That’s what happened 
when they signed me up for the first time: the agent sent me a link by Whatsapp 
but by the time I managed to get in the link had expired. He sent it again then 
it worked. It took me to the Airtel page to show the payment details, allowed 
me to click the Pay button which directed the browser to the Login for ICICI, 
and once logged in there was a direct option to pay with OTP to confirm from my 
phone number linked to my ICICI account. Is this how it works?

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

The trick with airtel is not to use their site. 

 

Use your bank or paytm to pay your bill.

[Yamuna Jivana Dasa (Yogan Khandoo)]

Hi,
Airtel.in website doesn’t allow login. When we try it says “We have error 
connecting. Please press retry to try again”. Then the same thing happens if we 
press Retry.
I am convinced that Airtel wants to make the App the only mechanism for 
payments, support and other features of their service. This is obvious from 
everything displayed on their website. Does anyone know if there is a blindness 
organization challenging Airtel for their lack of accessibility to their Thanks 
App? I say no thanks to AirTel for now! Problem is I’ve paid for 3 months fiber 
and now the connection is dead, and no support to reach. Terrible!

  Hi friends,

  Anybody here using Airtel Fibre?
  The Airtel Thanks App is inaccessible to Talkback. How do you make payments

  I tried using the website airtel.in but functionality seems to be limited and 
they are using the web interface more to push users to performing these 
functions from the App.

  Any thoughts?
  Thanks

  Hi, 
  Very good initiative but I have a suggestion to you and everyone involved in 
developing technologies for the VI community.
  Along with these braille devices, serious advancements need to be made in the 
mobility space as I believe that mobility is one of the biggest challenges for 
a VI person.
  Mobility is just not being able to walk on the road, it includes inhouse and 
in campus mobility. It is quite frustrating to need someone's help in moving in 
a house just because it is new and unfamiliar.
  You constantly have to plan your next move in order to prevent hurting 
yourself or crashing into someone which could hurt them or create awkward 
movements.
  The blind cane is a great tool, I use it almost every day, but it has started 
to become outdated for the 21st century.
  It cannot be used everywhere and with ease.
  Feel free to reply if you agree or disagree.

  Warm regards,

Dear Group Members, 

I am a recent graduate from IIT Guwahati and the founder of uDot Braille 
Tech where we are building novel technologies including a silent, backpack 
fitting braille embosser. 

After a year of research and development in college, we managed to achieve 
relatively noiseless and consistent quality embossing on braille paper with a 
miniature device that would also be cheaper than current products. This success 
and the underlying core technology developed allows us to attempt previously 
unthinkable devices and capabilities . Examples for potential products include 
a combined brailler plus embosser and even full page refreshable displays.

We want to build a solution that can cater to as many of the important 
requirements as possible, be it in the educational setup or the workspace. This 
is a full time effort and we are dedicated to a commercial product launch in 
the coming months.

I seek your involvement in our endeavor via phone calls/online interviews 
and any other subsequent form of engagement that is necessary. 

Your active involvement and input will help shape the product that we 
build. Therefore I request you to reach out to me if interested and also inform 
anyone you know whose thoughts, experience can make a difference.

Re: [AI] Airtel Thanks App Accessibility or alternative

[Bharat]

The Airtel's app is totally inaccessible. Unless you are using a
Airtel Black, you can make your payments using any of the 3rd party
websites like

Amazon.in
& many more.

The only challenge is with an Airtel black connection, since the
payments for those can only be made using airtel's app. In which case
the option is to take some sighted assistance.
