I wanted to do Rs58 recharge in Idea(UP-W) but the old ussd code *444*58# is showing invalid pack error and when I tried to call customer care ,they replied that Only Unlimited plans are allowed now. Neither,does mobile balance option appears in mobile app while recharging.

So ,is there any working ussd code/unofficial way to recharge Rs 58 plan in Idea ?

Nope, not from the main balance.. merely based on on-call verification.

Activation of *UL data packs was stopped in June/July last year. Only packs upto Rs 150 could be activated from main balance and in the last 1-2 months it was again changed such that now Rs 128 pack is the only eligible pack. However everytime it's activated from main balance IC SMS other than from Vi aren't delivered. I have faced this issue several times across multiple Vi nos. this year. Earlier they used to fix this issue in 2-3 weeks but this time they gave up much earlier and suggested a SIM replacement. SIM is obviously not the issue because messages from Vi are still delivered. Even OG SMS works fine. And just couple of weeks ago all IC SMS was being delivered thanks to a Rs 10 topup during the freebie period. This was of course way too much for Vi CC to understand. 

Only way to use talktime balance is to allow the auto-debit to occur but one has to then put up with no IC SMS which is an absolute deal breaker. Classic example of "damned if you do and damned if you don't"!
