BOOKING OF GAS CYLINDER THROUGH SMS

Hon'ble Sir

On 29-09-2015, I had suggested miscall facility for booking gas cylinders as per attached email. It appears that this suggestion is not technically implementable by gas supplying companies and hence not implemented as yet. I suggest that there is facility of booking cylinder by SMS which is presently limited to metros and state capitals. which can be extended to district or taluka level. IVRS number gets timed out and since last two occasions I had to book cylinder online by visiting portal of gas company. Others may also be facing this problem, specially women who normally book cylinders. Kindly advise gas supplying companies to explore extending facility by SMS to district or taluka levels as is being done for metros and state capitals [at least in case of Bharat Gas].I do not know of other two companies Indane and HP if they have such sms facility for cylinder booking.

Thanking you,

At present while booking gas cylinder on mobile, one has to press 1, 2, 3 for language choice etc.  In smart phones, senior citizens get confused to press buttons while on line and call is timed out. Recently it took 5 attempts to book a cylinder on smart phone by me. Hence I suggest that miss call facility [as adopted by banks for knowing balance] be adopted by gas companies, so that with a miss call from registered mobile numbers  cylinder should be booked and SMS sent confirming booking. I have experienced that BJP central govt is sensitive to suggestions of common citizens.
Following link [write to MoS] is not working properly.
