Kingfisher Airlines has announced the launch of King Mobile, a mobile ticketing solution. Kingfisher has tied up with ngpay to provide this service to its customers. Via this service one can book tickets using all GPRS enabled low-end as well as high-end phones. Besides for booking and paying for the ticket one can also check miles & book Kingfisher Holidays via this application.
Is it a downloadable app?
Yes! To use this service one needs to download the ngpay application on to their GPRS enabled phones by sending a sms KingMobile to 56388. Once King Mobile is installed one needs to do a one-time registration.
What is the booking process?
E-tickets generated will be automatically emailed to your preferred email address which can be printed and used to gain entry inside the airport as well as for check-in using valid photo identification. On completion of the booking, e-ticket details will be stored automatically on the phone in the ngpay application for future access. The customer will also receive the booking details on his phone via SMS.
Important tie up for Ngpay
This is an important partnership for ngpay as the kingfisher customers are more likely to use their mobiles for ticket booking as they would usually have high end phones with qwerty keypads. And ngpay works with a large number of pda phones making sure that their target audience is reached.
Surprisingly and annoyingly too, ngpay does not support Blackberry phones!
Vivek,
Not sure where you learnt that.
I have a Blackberry phone and been using ngpay for quite a while.
Give it a shot, its worth it.
Cheers,
Amit
It’s a really great news for the kingfisher airlines industry.
