Now book an Uber without the smartphone app

Uber has announced a new way through which, customers can book cab rides on its platform. Called 'Dial an Uber', this feature allows users to book a cab from their browser (smartphone, desktop, etc.), without the need to install the official app.

To book an Uber through the new feature, a customer needs to visit dial.uber.com using the browser and then enter his mobile number to login or sign up on the platform. Once logged in, he will be able to view pricing information, estimate and available cabs within the browser itself. A ride can then be requested with a single tap. The driver's contact number and cab details will be sent to the user's phone number, which can be used to coordinate a pickup.

Uber has already tested the Dial an Uber feature through a pilot run in four cities - Nagpur, Kochi, Guwahati and Jodhpur. It has now been released in each of the 29 cities in the country where Uber has its operations.
