Airtel charging for MNP SMS (1900)

@panks21 Just like OP mentioned they charge you for sending SMS to 1900, no matter which plan you are on. This is their 'Premium' service.

Oh.. OK. I thought they charged you for exiting from Black Plan but you stayed with Airtel.
I am planning to stay with Airtel but will move some of the SIMs to prepaid which has low usage

@panks21 First debundle your Airtel Black Plan and then generate MNP.
MNP doesn't gets generated if you're number is a part of Airtel Black Plan and you get a message

Hi! Your request to generate the UPC for port-out of your Airtel No. XXXXXXXXXX could not be processed as your number is still in Airtel One Plan. Please deconsolidate your number from Airtel One Plan via Airtel Thanks App www.airtel.in/5/airtelthanks or at the nearest Airtel Store to request for port-out.

I did not get the UPC and still got charged.
Thanks to the 'Premium' service of Airtel.

I couldn’t send a port out code on Vi without an unlimited pack. So I timed my port out code a few days before my plan expired.
