2. Recharging Through Grameenphone Smart Load

Smart Load is a feature in Grameenphone through which you can reload through top-up vouchers using a USSD code. It is a quick and easy way to recharge your GP SIM card without the use of an internet connection or smartphone. Even a simple feature phone can do the job. The best part about this feature is you can recharge any GP prepaid number, whether you own it or want to help out, by using a GP top-up voucher. Hence, you can recharge your family member’s or friend’s GP number anytime and anywhere after buying the scratch card and following these instructions:

1. Dial *555*voucher PIN on the scratch card*GP mobile number you wish to recharge# from your GP phone.
2. You will get a notification after the recharge is successful. 
3. The person whose GP number you have recharged will not get any notification. 

Once the scratch card is used, it will completely become useless. The validity and recharge amount depend on the scratch card you have used. This service is not chargeable, and it is available to GP prepaid customers only.

3. Top Up Balance for Grameenphone Via Third-Party Websites

Third-party websites are web portals not owned by the parent company of your service provider. These third-party websites are granted permission by your carrier to sell its recharges/top-ups. Generally, these websites offer lucrative rewards on recharges and top-ups to gain customers. Hence, when you reload your SIM card through these websites you may get cashback, reward points, and so on. Ding, Recharge, and DoctorSIM are a few popular websites in this regard. Though we have no affiliation, we will show DoctorSIM’s process of reloading with the help of the steps given below.
