Bharti Airtel subscribers will have to recharge with a minimum plan of Rs 45 instead of the previously available Rs 23 one

Airtel Subscribers to Spend a Minimum of Rs 45 Per Month

Bharti Airtel has issued a public notice in one of the major newspapers where it has noted that the SUK base plan is being discontinued and new customers shall be on a base tariff plan of 2.5p/sec for all Local and STD voice calls, 5p/sec for National Video calls, 50p/MB for data, Re 1 for per local SMS, Rs 1.5 for per STD SMS and Rs 5 per international message. Further, Airtel has mandated that now for the subscribers it is necessary to recharge with a plan of Rs 45 which will extend the validity of their number for them with the respective validity of the plan. In the case of non-recharge, there will be a grace period of 15 days for the subscribers, after the exhaustion of which the services will be suspended for the subscribers.

To recall, some of the Airtel subscribers have already noted on Twitter that they are being charged for video calls separately. This means that the new tariff change has come into effect and the subscribers who are not recharging their prepaid numbers are going to be the one affected the most. Before this, to simply maintain an Airtel number you would have to spend Rs 23 per month, but now the amount has come up to be Rs 45 for every 28 days. This essentially increases the amount by double required to maintain an Airtel prepaid number.

Even when Chortel shows it colours , people are cool with it , and still insanely blame Jio .

Chortel’s very foundation thought is to looot and cry foul.

I still don’t understand…
When there is 49 plan which also gives 38 balance, why would someone recharge 45 plan.

Instead they should have just removed 23 RC
