Airtel Backup

this also appeared in the latest update of myairtel app.

i did not proceed.

Airtel trying to replicate Jio's app ecosystem is probably going to force me to dump them for another operator. I am still annoyed about their prepaid alerts that are not easily dismissable.

Prepaid alerts through the app? Or texts?

 

[Sushubh]

the popup you get after you finish a call. regular version of the popup is dismissible by clicking anywhere on the screen. but airtel uses the version that has a field to enter data and you have to specifically press the cancel button.

I don't have that. I get the regular one which has no field to input data.

Why don't you block it altogether?

i am using an app to dismiss the alerts. it works 99% of the times. that's not the point though. it's the annoyance factor. it's like they want you to accidentally enter some value so that they can enable a vas on your account.

based on online sources, the app offers 2GB of free storage. no thanks.

Once you have selected the categories to backup, the app will backup the data at a scheduled time between 1am to 5am. The time cannot be changed and it is likely so that users can avail the 50 percent cashback data offer with the Airtel Night plan.

i guess airtel has not heard about people having high speed internet at home with even unlimited data transfers in some cases.

when will they introduce app similar to jio join which allows vowifi.

..as if Jio snooping on everything wasn't enough, Airtel wants to have a look at everything you own too. :wondering:
