Spend about 10 minutes each day on the list, send a short personal message, share the recharge page and record the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"ap-card\" aria-label=\"ISP Square Starter\">\n<span class=\"ap-card__badge\">Practical pick<\/span>\n<div class=\"ap-card__body\"><p class=\"ap-card__name\">ISP Square Starter<\/p><p class=\"ap-card__best\">Best for a shop reselling one ISP<\/p><ul class=\"ap-card__features\"><li>1 ISP account<\/li><li>Up to 500 customers<\/li><li>Up to 5 partners<\/li><li>2 staff logins<\/li><li>Online recharge page for customers<\/li><li>KYC and stock tracking<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"ap-card__side\"><p class=\"ap-card__price\">\u20b9399\/month (\u20b93,990\/year) <small><\/small><\/p><a class=\"ap-card__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/ispsquare.com\/#pricing\">See plans \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why reminders matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An expiry date is easy to miss when you manage customers for more than one ISP, collect some payments in cash and some through UPI, and also handle installations or partner work. A small daily list gives you a clear order of work: who needs a reminder today, who has already paid and who needs a follow-up tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is not to pressure every customer. It is to give people enough notice to choose their plan and recharge before the date they already have in their records. The routine also helps you avoid sending the same reminder twice or asking a customer to pay after they have already renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plan validity is not something you should guess from the month name. TRAI notes that providers can offer plans with different periods of validity and usage charges, so use the expiry date shown for that customer and confirm unusual cases with the relevant ISP. <a href=\"https:\/\/trai.gov.in\/faqcategory\/plans-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRAI&#8217;s plans and tariff guidance<\/a> is a useful reference when a customer asks why two plans have different renewal dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need before starting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep these items ready at the shop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>The customer list, including the connection, current plan, expiry date, payments and history.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The customer&#8217;s preferred contact method and the name or ID you normally use when speaking to them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The correct renewal amount or plan information from your ISP records. Do not guess an amount from an old message.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Your customer recharge page link. It should be easy to open on a phone and should take the customer to the online payment flow.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A small follow-up record. It can be your daily work sheet, but use the customer ID rather than writing unnecessary KYC details in a loose notebook.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you manage more than one ISP, keep the ISP name beside every entry. A customer may know the shop but not remember which upstream connection is attached to their account. A single list across connections is useful here; see this <a href=\"https:\/\/ispsquare.com\/blog\/isp-billing-software-india-resellers\/\">practical guide to ISP billing software for resellers<\/a> for the wider workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Open the expiry list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> You want one source for the date, plan and payment history before you contact anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open your customer list and look at the expiry field. Work out which customers expire three days from today. If your list has several ISPs, identify the ISP and connection for each row before making a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write down only the people who need action today. A simple working list can look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table ap-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Customer ID<\/th><th>ISP<\/th><th>Plan<\/th><th>Expiry date<\/th><th>Contact status<\/th><th>Next action<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>C-1042<\/td><td>OneBroadband<\/td><td>Current plan<\/td><td>23 October<\/td><td>Not contacted<\/td><td>Send reminder<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C-1188<\/td><td>GTPL<\/td><td>Current plan<\/td><td>23 October<\/td><td>Asked to call<\/td><td>Call after shop opening<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the date in the account record, not a remembered rule such as \u201crenew on the same date every month\u201d. If the plan or expiry looks incorrect, pause that entry and check the ISP account before asking the customer to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Success looks like:<\/strong> You have a short list of customers whose plan expires in three days, with the correct ISP and expiry date beside each name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Check the details before contacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> A correct reminder feels helpful; a message with the wrong plan or date creates avoidable calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each person on the list, check the customer name or ID, connection, plan and expiry date. Look at the payment history as well. If a recent payment is already visible, do not send a fresh payment request until you understand whether the new expiry has been recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you resell more than one ISP, check the upstream connection carefully. ISP Square connects ISP partner accounts, including OneBroadband and GTPL, and keeps the customer, plan, balance and payment view together. The account information syncs every minute, but you should still review a recent payment before following up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not copy KYC documents, full identity numbers or unrelated notes into the reminder list. The reminder needs the connection and renewal information, not a second copy of the customer&#8217;s documents. KYC uploaded to your ISP Square account remains with your operator account if you leave an ISP, but it should still be handled only where it is needed for your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Success looks like:<\/strong> Every row has a checked date, plan and payment status, and there is no obvious duplicate or already-renewed customer in today&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Send a short renewal message<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> Customers should understand what is ending, when it ends and what action they can take without reading a long paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the customer&#8217;s name or customer ID, state the plan expiry date and offer the recharge link. Keep the message factual. Do not promise uninterrupted service, invent a discount or use an amount that you have not checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can adapt this template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hello [name], your [ISP] broadband plan for connection [ID] expires on [date]. You can renew before the expiry date using this recharge link: [link]. Please reply here or call the shop if you want to confirm the plan first.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a customer who prefers a call, use the same three facts: connection, expiry date and next step. Mark the row as \u201ccontacted\u201d only after the message is sent or the call is completed. If the customer asks for a different plan, record the request and confirm availability with the ISP before changing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a manual reminder routine. It does not depend on an automatic SMS or WhatsApp blast. That makes the process suitable for a small shop where you want to start with the customers due soon and keep a human check on every message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Success looks like:<\/strong> Each customer receives one clear message or call, and your record shows when the contact happened and what the customer asked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Share the recharge link<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> A clear next step turns a reminder into an easy renewal path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send the customer&#8217;s recharge page link after the reminder, or include it in the same message if that is your normal process. ISP Square provides a web recharge page, so the customer does not need to install an app. The customer pays online, the connected ISP account is topped up, and you can check the result in the operator view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before sharing, open the link yourself once during the morning routine. Check that it is the page you intend to give customers and that the plan or connection instructions are clear. Do not send an internal login page, a private staff link or a link copied from another customer conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell the customer what to do after payment: keep the payment confirmation and share the transaction reference if the renewal does not appear in the expected time. In your own record, do not mark the customer as renewed merely because you sent the link. Mark it only when the payment or updated expiry is visible in the customer history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a recharge times out, check the payment and account history before trying again. ISP Square keeps a wallet ledger and does not use a blind retry for a timed-out recharge. This helps you avoid asking the customer to pay twice for the same renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Success looks like:<\/strong> The customer has the correct public recharge page, and you have a clear rule for confirming payment before closing the reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Track who renewed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong> The next morning&#8217;s list should contain only open work, not customers you already handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Return to the customer list after the customer pays or replies. Check the payment and history fields, then record one of these simple outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Renewed:<\/strong> payment is visible and the new expiry is shown.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Needs confirmation:<\/strong> the customer says they paid, but you cannot yet see the updated record.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Call back:<\/strong> the customer wants to discuss the plan or will pay later.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>No response:<\/strong> the reminder was sent, but there is no reply yet.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Do not contact today:<\/strong> the expiry date or account details need correction first.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not delete an open item. Move it to tomorrow&#8217;s follow-up list with the next action and a date. At the end of the 10-minute routine, count the rows still open and hand them to the staff member who will handle the next shift. Staff logins can be scoped to the screens they need, and actions are logged, so each person can update the same customer record instead of maintaining separate registers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Success looks like:<\/strong> Every row has a result and next action, and a second staff member can understand the status without asking you to recreate the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verify the routine each day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this quick check before leaving the reminder list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Did you use the current expiry date for each customer?<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Did you identify the correct ISP and connection?<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Did you check payment history before sending a second request?<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Did every message include a clear expiry date and recharge link?<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Did you record the outcome rather than assuming the customer renewed?<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Did you move unresolved rows to a dated follow-up list?<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the answer is yes, the list is ready for tomorrow. Once the routine is stable, add a second review for customers expiring tomorrow, but keep the three-day list as the main daily starting point so the work stays manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting common reminder problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The expiry date looks wrong.<\/strong> Check the customer&#8217;s connection, recent payment and plan history. If the record still does not match the ISP account, hold the reminder and ask the ISP or the customer to confirm the correct date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The customer says they already paid.<\/strong> Do not send another link immediately. Check the payment and history records, note the transaction reference, and mark the row as \u201cneeds confirmation\u201d until the renewal appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The customer wants to pay cash.<\/strong> Record the cash collection in your normal payment process, then verify that the connected ISP account and customer history reflect the renewal. A verbal confirmation alone is not enough to close the row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A customer has more than one connection.<\/strong> Put each connection on its own row. Use the connection ID in the message so the customer does not recharge the wrong account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A staff member has already contacted the customer.<\/strong> Keep one shared status and a next-action date. Do not create a second reminder just because the first conversation was handled by another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days before broadband expiry should I remind a customer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with three days before expiry for the daily list. It gives the customer time to read the message and decide, while keeping the list focused; adjust the timing only after checking the plan rules and your customers&#8217; usual payment habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should a broadband expiry reminder message include?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Include the customer&#8217;s name or ID, ISP or connection, plan expiry date and the correct recharge link. Add a contact option for questions, but avoid unverified prices, discounts or promises about service continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I send automatic SMS or WhatsApp reminders from ISP Square?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This routine does not claim automatic SMS or WhatsApp blasts. It uses the customer list, a manual message or call, the web recharge page and a recorded follow-up so you know what has actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I confirm that a broadband renewal is complete?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the payment and customer history in the operator view, then confirm that the updated expiry is visible. Do not close the row just because a customer opened the link or said they intended to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I manage OneBroadband and GTPL customers together?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the ISP and connection beside every expiry date, then contact each customer from the same daily list.
