MyVodafone Android App

After finishing up on the MyTiGO app, I thought I could just do a few code modification to provide the ease and relief of common network tasks that MyTiGO brings to other networks as well. And so, as you might have noticed, this is the same version of the app for +Vodafone Ghana subscribers.

If I have to go through the features again, then it is a very simple android app aiding users perform simple tasks as checking credit/balance, loading up credit, subscribing for data or internet bundles. How different is this from the traditional way of performing these tasks you may ask. Well, you don't have to remember and call any short codes. Just a touch of an on-screen button and you are good to go. For example, no entering of *123*...# to load up credit. Just enter your scratched number in the text box, touch the load credit button and it's taken care of.

A few additional gimmicky features are pages for Vodafone Ghana social network profiles on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. This version for Vodafone Ghana also includes a button for contacting customer support which was not available in the +Tigo Ghana version.

The file can be downloaded from the link below for installation on only android devices. Please ensure that 'Unknown sources' is on in your settings as is the case with installing any apk file. On tablets, tasks such as loading credit, checking balance and customer care can only be performed if the tablet is cellular enabled (or works with a sim card - not wifi only).
(Link has been updated for a new version as the old one had a bug with loading credit)

Feedback will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

MyTiGO Android App

MyTiGO is an android application I developed and have been using for some time now. How many times have you had to pause and think for a while or even ask a friend for one of those short codes to check your balance, get internet bundles or even recharge? This is your answer. Having developed and been using it personally, I think it's time to get this in a lot of people hands as a lot seem to also have my code memorizing mental challenge as well.

MyTiGO helps to easily recharge a scratch card number for credit with just the touch of a button. Unarguably a better alternative to the *842*...# option or going through automated voice menus to perform a simple task. Also included is the ability to check your balance and bonuses. The app also provides quick access to the Tigo Cash menu where transactions can be made with the various sub-services under Tigo Cash. +Tigo Ghana can provide more details on that.

Tigo recently launched an Internet portal which I also included in the app. It most helpful to get details of and subscribe to various data packages. The first page of the portal that I incorporated gives an overview of the user's account providing information about balance, current data package and its expiration date.

Tigo Internet Portal Page

Additional features that are included are pages for the 3 main social network accounts for Tigo on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. All these are embedded into the app and can easily be switched back to the normal Tigo mobile services page.

Wrapping up, I think these type of applications should be provided by all the mobile network service providers to ease usability for their customers especially on mobile devices they sell directly to customers as pre-installed apps. The app is currently available to any interested persons who send me an email ( felixsarp@gmail.com or techdroolgh@gmail.com ) requesting for it. Please do send feedback of your experience and how it works for you just so I can optimize it for various devices.

Update: The apk file is now downloadable from the following links.
