I thought only fuel prices can be increased like this.

But airtel is thinking itself like a govt..

I can understand about unlimited voice and data plans, but Y the hell they have to increase minimum recharge price too?? From 39 to 49, then 79 and with few months 99. Even jio phone with unlimited voice costs 79.

Anyone figured out how to port without sms pack?, shitty chortel, recharged for 79 but no sms pack.🥲

If you are lucky enough and 45 pack isn’t totally withdrawn, OG SMS is still available in it. Although I am not sure if PORT SMS is treated any differently. Last month after expiry of Rs 19 pack, received 3 days grace period twice in succession during which OG SMS was working. On the 7th day 45 was auto-debited.

With internet becoming ubiquitous & WFH the new norm will we need mobile service providers in future ? I guess mobile use will reduce drastically. Many of my friends are back to single number unlike few years back when everyone had min. 2-3 numbers.

I don’t understand why are people so hurryingly recharging, don’t we get cb on every recharge that we do after each month or 3 months?

Is this 2498 plan super cheap? What benefits does it offer?

Somebody try with Rs100 topups. Are we still getting validity. If so we can do that queue up the validity in airtel.

100 topup doesn’t come with validity anymore, and even when it did, that validity cannot be queued, it starts from the day of recharge itself.

Guys I took the plunge. Already had 399 plan active with 49 days validity. Added 598 plan to it, and it has been queued up, starting once 399 ends. Any pack which shows that Save 20% on recharge can be queued.

That’s good to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Now if we knew how many recharges could be queued, it would be quite helpful.

I just noticed a change. When you dial *123# now, it doesn’t show current and upcoming pack info options any more. Hope it’s not a bad sign.

Airtel is only focusing on postpaid users and particularly targeting those whose bills get reimbursed from their employers. They do not want low value prepaid users.

Not true, also prepaid is getting reimbursed in many organizations.

Just recharged 2498 to my 3 airtel numbers with 210, 175, 141, days validity of previous 2498 rc. Plans added and validities increased to year 2023.https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/724203/medium/Screenshot_20211123-082922013_%281%29.jpg?1637636433I guess you can just queue plans with different recharges also.
As the sole purpose of this 20% discount scheme by Mr.Greedy💩Mittal is to pool as much money as early as possible.

Is the intent is to pool the money, the advt will go something like " Hurry up, last few to queue different RCs of your liking before the plans costs jack up" And they will also be crystal clear on how and what can be queued.

Definitely there will be plan hikes in all the other networks, but time we are unable to predict.

Mostly the Retailer and offline Recharge shop persons will get unofficial infos regarding the price increase before going official. Told 2 or 3 such persons to inform the same immediately when they received such information.

Will update here if any updates available.
