1.  2. If you fail to get a link by sending above SMS ,you can visit SBI site and click Mobile Banking under Services section.Or you can directly visit Mobile Banking Application Download page.A lot of mobile handset models are listed there.You have to select your phone model and choose the handset specific version.If you fail to find application for your phone model,you can download the Generic version from the same page.
   If your mobile does not have a GPRS/3G Internet connection you can first download the application to computer by visiting aforesaid links.Once you download it -transfer it to mobile and install .

01.Registration and Activation Process for SBI FreedoM

Start the application and you will see the screen as shown in image.You have to login using the given user id and MPIN which you received in response  to the message you sent for downloading the application.And this completes the process.In case you have not received the user id and MPIN you can click “register” from the application start menu and get it by SMS.People who download application without sending SMS will need to do this.

02. Registration at the SBI ATM 

visit any “SBI ATM” and register yourself for mobile banking service.For this you have to choose ‘Services’ in the main menu.Select ‘Mobile banking’ and then again select “Register”.Enter your mobile number and follow the instructions thereafter.

Using the SBI Mobile Banking Application

Start the application and change the default MPIN.It is mandatory to change MPIN before using it for the first time.It’s good to use a strong alphanumeric MPIN such as ‘6tgnd5’.Of course make it easy enough to remember.

Once the service is activated,you can carry out almost all banking related transactions through the application which include statement enquiry,fund transfer,bill payments,cheque book request and so on.Of course- you can not withdraw cash from your mobile
