Sakhi is a first-of-its kind mobile based safety service exclusively for Vodafone and Idea women (post-paid and pre-paid) customers offering features like Private Number Recharge, Emergency Alerts, Emergency Balance, through the mobile phone. Vodafone Idea Sakhi can be used on smartphones and feature-phones and the safety features can be accessed even when there is no balance or mobile internet, thus ensuring that the service is accessible to women at all times.
Extending his greetings to the women of Punjab on the occasion of International Women's Day, Sudhir Pradhan, Business Head- Punjab, HP & J&K, Vodafone Idea Limited, said that fewer women have mobile connections as compared to men. Further, most women have access to only feature-phones and basic mobile phones. Vodafone Idea sees this large gap in mobile access and usage as a need to connect with and empower more women to ensure their personal safety and security through their mobile phones. Vodafone Idea Sakhi seeks to drive inclusion and address real societal problems such as women safety. This unique, free of cost service makes it convenient for women to step out fearlessly and fulfil their aspirations. For Vodafone Idea Sakhi users, their safety and privacy is within their control…Everyday is Women's Day.
To activate 'Sakhi' Vodafone and Idea customers can emergency alert dial 1800123100 (toll-free) and update their ICE (In Case of Emergency) Contact numbers. When faced with a challenging situation, Sakhi users can dial 12100 toll free to send emergency alerts to the ICE contacts.
