Is 23/49 recharge compulsory for receiving sms on airtel?Looks like so,i wasn’t receiving banking otp’s and other messages but weirdly i am receiving sms from some numbers.Did anyone else face this?
🙄
Do Recharge 
earlier, i used to get sms even without any active validity pack,when did this happen? 
When 23 plan expires then airtel gives 7 days grace period in which both incoming and outgoing will work.
Then after that they will again extend for 6 to 7 days in which only incoming will work.
After this you can recharge with min 23
sometimes it works without 23 rs pack sometimes its necessary ,
i dont have recharged my sim with any pack but i still get all otp for transactions from hdfc bank
still no USSD to recharge voda and airtel

No. Vodafone started showing this option on *111# itself. You can do every recharge 49, 219, 399 etc etc…,
Yes. SMS incoming will also be stopped after plan validity expires. Even bank OTP will be blocked. Same is the case with AVOID and BSNL. No idea about JIO.

same problem faced by me also…i think this happened after the new plans were implemented…earlier around 7-15 days of time was given…but now from the next day whole service will stop if not recharged

i am talking about 24 plan and 39 rs user specific plan

disabled auto deduction few months back

At present 24 pack also not working for me (even though it was showing in ussd menu).. will try and update you (here) if i get any other ways to recharge from main balance.
39 pack is spl recharge and the talktime will be valid only for 28 days (not applicable from main balance recharge)

so which plan can be recharged from main balance? lower tariff is preferable
also want to rc 79 pack in airtel but no option there also

I have done 48rs pack from main balance (3gb data) with 28 days service validity and this is the lowest one as of now. (Vodafone)
Not sure about airtel.

Yes.
2 Days – Both incoming & Outgoing
7 days – only incoming
Not even incoming SMS ! 
Airtel has downgraded its facility. I couldn’t recharge my number since a month and now Airtel has stopped incoming messages too….its very disregarding. I am porting to Jio…atleast Jio provides incoming messages even if I do not recharge for months.
Same problem with me. My airtel plan got over and now i am not receiving bank otp. This is such a shameful act by airtel. Atleast they should have allowed bank messages. Looks like I have to port out now. Damm you chortel.
