Each and every transaction you will receivet SMS to your number contains
transaction id and other details.
But I found that a lot of users failed during registration and service. So here is a detailed guide about
downloading, activation and registration of SBI mobile banking application (SBI FreedoM).
For this you have to fallow these steps strictly
FIRST STEP
DOWNLOADING SBI FREEDOM TO YOUR MOBILE
The downloading of application can be completed by directly downloading to mobile or first downloading it
to computer and then installing it on your mobile. Application can be directly downloaded and installed on
your mobile if you have Internet enabled on your mobile phone. You can do so by following two ways.
Send an SMS <MBSREG> <MobileMaker> <MobileModel> to 567676 .For example if you have a Nokia 6500
mobile then send MBSREG Nokia 6500 to 567676 .You will get a User Id and defsult MPIN and also a WAP
link to download the mobile banking application. Click on the link if you have GPRS connection to
download.
If you fail to get a link by sending above SMS ,you can visit sbi .co.in and click Mobile Banking under
Services section. Or you can directly visit Mobile Banking Application Download page. A lot of mobile
handset models are listed there. You have to select your phone model and choose the handset specific
version. If you fail to find application for your phone model, you can download the Generic version from the
same page.
If your mobile does not have a GPRS/3G Internet connection you can first download the application to
computer by visiting links. Once you download it -transfer it to mobile and install.
SECOND STEP
REGISTRATION OF SBI FREEDOM AT MOBILE
Start the application and you will see the screen as shown in image. You have to login using the given
user id and MPIN which you received in response to the message you sent for downloading the application.
And this completes the process.
In case you have not received the user id and MPIN, Then open sbi freedom, click “register” from the
application start menu and get it by SMS. People who download application without sending SMS will
need to do this.
THIRD STEP
REGISTRATION OF SBI FREEDOM AT THE SBI ATM
Visit any SBI ATM and register yourself for mobile banking service. For this you have to choose ‘Services’
in the main menu. Select ‘Mobile banking’ and then again select Register . Enter your mobile number and
follow the instructions thereafter. After this process you will receive sms that conforms your account
integration with your mobile number.
FOURTH STEP
INITIAL SETTINGS
Start the application and change the default MPIN. It is mandatory to change MPIN before using it for the
first time. You have to receive conformation message( through sms to you) about MPIN change. Then the
service is activated, you can carry out almost all banking related transactions through the application
which include statement enquiry, fund transfer, bill payments, cheque book request etc.
Mobile Banking service is FREE to use but you have to pay carrier charges (for usage of SMS or GPRS)
SMS charges per every transaction 3 Rs. But if you change to GPRS, charge for every transaction is nearly
10 paise to 30 paise depends on your network provider. If you have activated GPRS plan no data charges
will apply. To change channel from SMS to GPRS, Login to ur mobile freedom, click settings, then click
change channel, select GPRS and enter MPIN and send a text message. Before change to GPRS, set proper
GPRS settings in your mobile.
The advantage of SBI Mobile banking is that it works even if you don’t have a GPRS/3G enabled phone as
it can use SMS for transactions.
If you still have any difficulty in downloading, registration or activation of SBI mobile banking application,
let me know in comments.
Note:
Please maintain minimum 25 rupees balance in your mobile. Because you need to send 3 to 4 sms (each
sms 3 rupees charge). If you have less than 10 rupees, sometimes these activation sms will fail due to
insufficient balance.
You need java enabled phone for this and if it is GPRS enabled it is easy little bit.
Those who are having SBI INTERNET banking, always use the same mobile number to register SBI
FREEDOM application, which you are given for SBI INTERNET banking.
Strictly don’t click anything in sbi application before your ATM registration completes.
