Robi Running on Empty? How to Borrow Some Talkative Juice (a.k.a Jhotpot Loan)
Ah, the joys of a prepaid phone. Freedom, flexibility, and the occasional sinking feeling when you realize you've talked for hours and forgotten to top up. Fear not, fellow Robi user, for there's a secret weapon in your arsenal: the Jhotpot loan!
But First, Are You Eligible for This Talkative Treasure?
Before we dive into the borrowing bonanza, a quick check is crucial. Dial *8#. If your phone displays a message saying "Congratulations! You are eligible for Jhotpot Balance," then you're good to go!
However, if your phone throws shade and says you're ineligible, don't fret! This could be for various reasons, like being a new customer or having outstanding dues. Check with Robi customer care for further details.
So, You're In! How to Snag Some Jhotpot Cash (Kind Of)
Now for the good part! Here's how to activate your Jhotpot loan:
- Dial the magic number: Punch in *123*007# on your keypad. It's free to dial, so no worries about accidentally summoning a talkative genie (although that might be fun!).
- Wait for the confirmation: You'll receive an SMS confirming the loan amount and the repayment details. Remember, you can borrow up to 100 Taka!
Important Note: There's a 2 Taka service charge (excluding tax) for borrowing 12 Taka or more. So, unless you're a real penny pincher (borrowing exactly 11 Taka), be prepared for this small fee.
Using Your Jhotpot Loan: Unleashing the Talkative Power
Now that you've got your Jhotpot loan, you can use it for:
- Making voice calls: Chat with your bestie, prank call your sibling (but don't get caught!), or finally call that relative you've been meaning to for ages.
- Sending SMS: Text your friends those hilarious memes you found online, or send cryptic messages that will leave them scratching their heads (just kidding... maybe).
However, keep in mind that any existing bundles or free bonuses you have will be used first. Think of Jhotpot as your talkative backup dancer, ready to step in when the main act (your bundle) is done.
Repaying Your Jhotpot Loan: Keeping Your Robi Happy
Jhotpot loans are convenient, but remember, it's borrowed money (well, talkative money, in this case). Here's how to repay it:
- Your next top-up will automatically go towards repaying the loan. So, the next time you add some cash to your Robi account, the Jhotpot loan will be the first thing to be settled.
- *You can check your outstanding Jhotpot balance by dialing 8# and then selecting "1" from the account menu. This way, you can keep track of how much you owe and plan your next top-up accordingly.
Remember, responsible borrowing is key! Don't go overboard with the Jhotpot loans, or you might end up talking your way into a financial pickle.
So there you have it, folks! Now you know how to borrow some talkative juice from Robi and stay connected when your phone runs dry. Use it wisely, chat responsibly, and remember, laughter is the best medicine (even if it comes through a borrowed phone call).
