Every 'Mobile Recharge Zone' unit has eight mobile chargers of various brands (Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic etc.). It also has a provision for using one's own charger. These units have been installed at different locations across Bangalore - government offices, bus stations, hospitals, restaurants, multiplexes, airport, clubs, corporates, university canteens, shopping malls, and other places across the city.

Speaking on the occasion, Samuel Selvakumar, Chief Executive Officer, Hutchison Essar South said, "Customer insight reveals that with increased usage especially in critical times, one's phone battery often gets depleted and needs to be recharged. Keeping in line with the Hutch philosophy of facilitating communication anytime anywhere, the recharge zone will ensure our customers enjoy uninterrupted service at all times."
