Ps: IDEA – Andhra Pradesh circle
I’m looking to exhaust my balance & port to bsnl at end.
I have balance in my sim. When I checked *121# menu it shows some 3G/4G packs like Rs 45-1GB-28days & Rs 98-3GB-28days.
So I called CC & enquired if these packs are alone enough to extend the validity by 28 days OR should I recharge with 35/65/95 packs?
They said those validity recharges are not needed if you do data pack activations. But I doubt that
One of my friend has done Rs45 recharge on 18th November so the validity has to be till 15th December, The same was shown in *125# (data balance) menu. But *121# shows O/G validity till tomorrow.
As per CC, activating data pack should have extended service validity..but its not happening for him.
Am I being misinformed by CC? or the validity is being extended on the last day of service validity?
Is it really mandatory to recharge those 35/65/95 packs or go for unlimited plans?

I see the other way..all they want either to do recharges regularly OR balances to be used. (that’s what I inferred after talking to CC)
Now if I get same validity (28 days) for Rs45 pack then why should I spend on unlimited Rs199 plan? Those 100MB/200MB/500MB for 28 days are pretty useless for me.
My plan is to keep the sim alive for more time.
Ps: I already have jio for calls & data.
wait 48 hours and ask your friend. status would be clear.
Off Topic: Now a days AVOID behaving very bad interm of packs. Today I have recharged RS.149 pack on Airtel app, there it was showing as RS.51 Amazon pay gift card. But after recharge i didn’t received any free gift card.
I think idea is maintaining different validity for O/G calls and I/C calls and for data they are maintaining different validity. Finally they needed money from all ways.
Same haopened with me. Wrote on twitter and then i got it after 3 days
Regarding Airtel, I tried to activate 98 Rs plan using sim balance but it didn’t get activated so I called up Airtel and got my 149 ₹ plan activated on the last day of outgoing calls validity. It immediately got activated and new expiry date became (28 days + 7 days) in December
In Airtel, any plan above 35 is extending validity.
Can 149 plan be activated from main balance?
Can I Carey forward data balance if info recharge like rs.35? I have 9 GB free data given by airtel..Help ..Need to recharge today..
Why are you spamming the shit all over?
Haven’t you got response on your thread yesterday? If you don’t want to trust why asking then? believe what you want to hear and stop posting queries…

All unlimited bundle data+call packs extend validity internet only pack will not extend validity
I.port my sim so cc call.me.and said just recharge with 35 rs I can’t do anything for free
howz the behaviour of airtel cc they say if u want to port to jio u can and laugh 
yes…the validity is being incrementally by 3-5 days.Even if OG is cut off after the last day (morning)…its being revived at midnight 
That may not be related to data pack activation alone as the same is also happening in case of my Idea SIMs that haven’t been recharged.

not sure about 45/98 pack but other unlimited pack which gives u free call and data can be activated, that’s what operators want
