Already read that on ECP website yesterday. Old news
“You no longer have to send an SMS on 8300 to know about your voting details including your constituency and polling station etc. as Click ECP offers the same along with a number of other features at one place”
Did you actually used the app before writing this article or just copied it from somewhere?
Yes, I did. What is wrongly stated in the article?
I have checked everything before writing this down, unlike you.
You still have to send an SMS, they just made a shortcut for sms in app. feature in app means app pulls it from database without having to use an external interface like “sms”.
True, but the app does it for you, doesn’t it? That is what I said.
whatever helps you sleep at night!
I saw what you did there ;)
