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

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

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.

Not even incoming SMS ! rage 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. imp

We already paid SMS charges/mobile banking charges to the respective bank (you can check in bank account statement). Airtel or any other cellular companies have no rights to block the bank msgs……. we should file the complaint against airtel on consumer court… https://www.onlinelegalindia.com/services/consu...

If you still have sufficient talktime for sending PORT SMS just recharge with Rs 45/48 pack. Otherwise Rs 49 pack which gives 38 TT.
Edit: You can also recharge the no. by using main balance from another Airtel no. Dial 141 Airtel mobile number * MRP# . You can choose the MRP from 48, 49, 149, 219, 249, 399, 598

I got the same problem with my Airte.l I did not recharge it for one month and Airtel has just decided to discontinue any incoming call or sms. it's my bank number and I was not getting a single bank sms or otp. today I decided to port from Airtel to jio. it took hardly 10 minutes and you know what happened after that. airtel called me and tried to bribe me to cancel the port. I didn't knew Airtel would be such a cheap skate company. I also have jio and it would go for months without recharge.
