Google Pay Without Internet: How it Works!

Ever stuck in a shop with no internet signal? Don't worry! You can still pay using Google Pay (UPI) even when you're completely offline. Here is the simple way to do it.

What is Offline Payment?

Offline payment means sending money without mobile data or Wi-Fi. It uses the USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) system. This works on your phone's signal—just like making a regular call!

The Magic Code: *99#

The secret to paying offline is dialing *99#. This is a special service created by NPCI that allows you to:

• Send money to anyone
• Check your bank balance
• See your last transactions

Steps to Pay Offline

1. Open Dialer: Go to your phone's calling app.
2. Dial *99#: Type the code and hit call.
3. Select 'Send Money': Type 1 and press Send.
4. Enter Details: Provide the mobile number or UPI ID of the receiver.
5. Enter PIN: Type the amount and your secret UPI PIN to finish!

Important Checklist

• Your SIM must be the same one linked to your bank.
• You must have an active UPI account already set up.
• You only need a mobile network signal, not data.
