Minimum ₹128 is required for extension of validity by 28 days ?

[Sushubh]

Reddit had a similar discussion on this. Lots of people confirming 79 doesn't work.

Maybe they are silently removing said plan and making ₹129 as monthly min

Just recharged on airtel app with ₹79 it is successful

 

[mhsabir]

Maybe a glitch at that time or they have changed at circle level?

@opomiyulen thanks

Airtel is looking to increase its APU to ₹300 ,So in coming months lower priced plans will be hiked for sure

ARPU of ₹300 means per GB rates of approx ₹30. That’s 6x of current rates. It’ll be a long time before Jio lets that happen.

Unless there's a substantial difference in performance metrics I don't see the benefit in paying for hiked prices that might come in the future.
Prepaid should also have options for unlimited data, like it's postpaid counterpart if it really wanted to go that high.

@opomiyulen are you able to send outbound sms with the 79 pack? I did the recharge last week and i am able to use the data and calls only. I get an alert that SMS service is not availaible in this pack. They could have still allowed the outgoing sms and deducted it from the main ballance On pay as you go rates

 

[opomiyulen]

@yougotmehere this is the case with both airtel and voda, if you need outgoing sms you have to recharge with their unlimited calling plans. I wish they have allowed sms at least.

So if sms is blocked you can register your device for UPI?

 

[yougotmehere]

@mikrotik Nope ! Thats where i found this saga. Incoming sms are allowed but outgoing are blocked.

Had a hard time understanding this drama by Airtel & Vodafone.

Bharti Airtel raises mobile tariffs, prepaid rates up 20-25% from November 26

Airtel said the revised tariffs will “enable substantial investments required in networks and spectrum and more importantly give Airtel the elbow room to roll out 5G in India”
