How to Upgrade to SBI Freedom v2.0.1 ,State Bank Mobile Banking Application on Android

Hi friends,

I'm Sujoy,today I'll tell you how to Upgrade to latest version of SBI Freedom Mobile Banking Application as the older version will be discontinued from 1st April 2016. You can read my old article on how to register/deregister/change your SBI mobile banking mobile number here- http://sujoyn70.blogspot.in/2014/03/how-to-change-registered-mobile-number.html

Step 1) Downloaded latest version of SBI Freedom v2.0.1 from Google Play Store here- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sbi.SBFreedom

Step 2) Run the application and choose "Already Have User ID and default MPIN?" option if you have mobile banking registered and Have User ID and default MPIN from old application.

Step 3) Complete Steps 1 to 5. Enter your existing User ID and default MPIN. Choose a new PIN (can be alphanumeric).

Step 4) At step 5 it says you'll get a sms code from bank, but I did not get that. If you don't, then manually write an sms- MBREG and send to 9223440000.
You'll get an SMS from bank stating- Cannot process request. Your mobile number is already registered. Else you need to register for mobile banking freshly.

After that you should get your GPRS activation key from bank by sms.
If you don't, just follow steps 1 to 5 again. Once you've received 8 digit GPRS activation key, send sms- MBSGAC <GPRS activation key> to 9223440000.

Step 5) After that you'll get an SMS confirming GPRS now enabled for your account. You can now use SB Freedom over GPRS.

Step 6) Then you can login using your old userID and newly set MPIN (can be alphanumeric). If it asks for register, then please complete registration by visiting any nearest SBI ATM and choose Banking option and choose Mobile Banking Registration option. You can register from NetBanking also. Or visit home branch. I know it's frustrating!
