Poor Airtel but yeah shame on them for this increase which most likely will come in to effect. Their biz actually went on pretty well even during the pandemic lockdowns. Other providers will follow suit as well.

So much money goes to so called ‘spectrum auction’. All for proper burping for whom it goes to lol. Also, 5G tech is a pathetic joke in our nation gg joy

I think this is how it works:
1. Unlimited plans can be stacked: e.g. 598 or 2498 plans can be scheduled to activate in future
2. Limited plans cannot be stacked: e.g. 379 plan
Let me know if anyone has evidence otherwise

Just done this-

1) My old pack 379
2) Airtel says do the recharge for same pack for validity extension so did 379 form Airtel Money – validity extended
3) Using the same payment for second recharge (Airtel Money) failed so tried another credit card and recharge of second recharge of 379 worked
4) Again did the 379 recharge with different credit card and it worked like a charm
5) Again used my same credit card used for second recharge and it worked again for 4th recharge and validity extended.

As per the SMS received from Airtel “xxxxx Recharge again with the same pack & save 20%, Your validity gets added for max 730 days by doing mutiple recharges”

So going to do recharges again tomorrow until the validity is extended to 730 days or less.

Thanks for this info.
I read somewhere that only unlimited plans can be stacked. Since 379 is not unlimited, i can only conclude:
1. Unlimited plans can be stacked. E.g. 2498 on 598
2. Same amount plans can also be stacked. E.g. 379 on 379
3. All other cases, the plan with maximum validity is considered. E.g. someone with 379 plan recharges 1498, then from that day itself, 1498 gets activated

Airtel app is updated with recharge plans mentioning 20% savings before 26 Nov. Also, some plans mention that validity starts post current plan expiry. Eg. 1498 says just 20% saving(can’t stack), but 2498 plan says validity starts post current plan expiry (ie stacked)

I stacked 2498 on top of 598. It’s working.

For my parents, I usually recharge 1 year plan (1498/2498) because I keep forgetting and finally main balance gets eaten witch 5 few days of expiry.

But, because of this hike, doing 1 year makes sense.

In my opinion, 1 year plan was very beneficial even before price hike. The only reason I avoided for myself to keep it flexible.

Otherwise, even after Airtel cashback of 40 for 598 plan, it is costlier than yearly pack of 2498.

Has any one recharged with more than two yearly plans?

I currently have 400 days of validity left and am wondering if I can do one more yearly recharge. But I saw in one of the posts from last year that max limit for queueing is 730 days. Is that true?

Max 730 days.

@Rocking_since_1992 SAME plan queuing you said in wiki..but the comments here tell a different story
Already I have enough problems in life…now this imp imp
Now I’m on 2498 plan with around 58 days validity remaining.
Can I recharge with another 2498 plan without overwriting existing plan?
What happens to data addon in your existing plan? Is it valid till existing plan or getting extended to new plan validity?

If you read through this thread, you’ll find that someone was able to do so successfully. It’s your money so do your own diligence. I mentioned it because I remember reading something like that.

My guess is that add-on data will expire when the current pack expires. Since you’re doing the same pack recharge, instead of queuing the pack if they extend the validity period, you might be in luck and your add-on data validity also might extended.

I think you should recharge with Rs. 399 pack. But once confirm it with CC on IVR 198 so satisfaction!
