Amazon entered the Indian market as an online marketplace but has now branched out with a multitude of services to offer. It lets you pay utility bills, book flight tickets, buy movie tickets, buy and sell gold, and even purchase vehicle insurance. Another common service that users look for – mobile recharge – is also available via Amazon Pay inside the Amazon app. Users can easily recharge their accounts through the app in few simple steps. They can even carry out mobile recharges via the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) through the app.
The e-commerce app allows users to recharge plans and services from all leading telecom operating in the country. Airtel, BSNL, Jio, MTNL, and Vi (Vodafone Idea) subscribers can recharge their mobile numbers via Amazon.
How to recharge mobile on Amazon app via UPI
Amazon allows users to do a mobile recharge via its Amazon Pay service. The process is fairly simple and straightforward.

Once the download is complete, ensure that you are logged in before beginning a recharge process. You will have to register if you are a new user of Amazon.
