Stop blaming craptel and ask JIO why the minimum recharge is setup.

Go and enjoy Jio and stop blaming other operators.

NO OPERATOR CARES FOR ₹50 CUSTOMERS.

Surprisingly i was able to activate airtel’s ₹49 pack from main balance using *121# today. My service was deactivated 2 days before, so I wanted to give it a try and it worked.

Same sort of discussions on different threads going on from months. It will continue even in future after unlimited pack hikes.
Earlier SMS were free, calls were almost free and data was costly.
Now it just became reversed.
Lets just hope that somewhere down the line both will be optimised.

Our Government people has themselves suggested to raise tariffs, but operators are hesitant
Now we are thinking of complaining to TRAI when our Govt is asking Airtel to rause their tariffs
So now we know who is the real instigator…, dont we dimers?

Conclusion from

Government has asked Airtel to raise tgeir tariffs and Airtel is hesitant to directly increase rates
So they indirectly did so by cutting all low cost plans

Once there were 10-12 service providers in each circle.
First the so called 2G scam (which was later proved to be highly exaggerated) was used to break the backs of half the mobile co. The CAG who hyped it got plum post in Modi govt.
Then Mukesh Ambani used predatory pricing to make most of the others go bankrupt
Then BSNL was made practically non-existent.
Then Jio hiked up the minimum recharge
Then Airtel and Vi followed.
But you blame Bharti Mittal only.
Be intelligent. Blame the source, not the effect.

Jio doent stop incoming
Airtel stops and its insulting when everyone hears this number is temporarily out of service

If Airtel is ur primary number port to bsnl and activate ₹397 stv pack to get 300 days of validity. If Airtel is ur secondary number (not attached to banks and other important things) recharge once in 89 days with ₹19 pack(2 days validity) to retain number

Well, you can activate the 49 plan using your main account balance in airtel. but no outgoing SMS.
Dial *567*49#

Airtel wants money capital to build 5G infrastructure and bid for 5G spectrum
As JIO has tonnes of money so it will be the highest spectrum accumulator
hence AIRTEL wants to stay ahead for the future

Like in 3 Idiots the famous dialogue,

Translate: keeping 1 leg in future(5g spectrum) and other leg in past(taxes losses etc), AIRTEL is urinating in the face of present (Consumers)"

All these Telcos wants more revenue from us and they think users should start using Our SIM and Services as Primary that’s why they are Hiking the Prices.

Because Primary SIMARPU Is more 150-200Rs (Average Revenue per user)
SECONDARY SIMARPU is 50-100Rs

They wants to start there services from 150Rs for month and then gradually to 200 and then in 5G it will 300Rs for sure (airtel vital said)
