Airtel Family Plan

[droid]

In 999 plan, you get 1+3 total 4 voice+data SIM and 1 data only SIM, total 5 SIM. You also get 150+30 GB data, shared among all. You can also add additional SIM, over and above the 4+1, but that is charged extra at 199+tax per SIM, with additional 10 GB data per additional SIM. So, if you want, you can have (4+1)+1 SIM at 999+199+tax, with unlimited voice calls and total 150+40 GB data.

I think add on revised to 249+ tax

I recently ported to Airtel postpaid 499 plan. But I also have another Airtel postpaid number (which was ported last year) used by my brother. Since, both the number are registered on same persons name. But I get different bills.

Do anyone know how to merge the bill and get single bill for both the connection except opting for family plan which I don't want to do since many people said that speeds are capped or shared.

Edited:
I mean I want to have 499 individual plan on both connection (cause I don't wanna share data since I consume a lot) but want to have single bill.

Is this true?
I am having Airtel 4G Dongle with Rs 499 Plan. I am thinking to upgrade it to Rs 749 plan which would give me 2 voice sims and 1 Data sim.
My Dongle data is not getting utilized as I have broadband connection as well at home.
I had changed Dongle's exiting Rs 499 plan with 75 GB data to Mobile Rs 499 plan which also gave 75 GB data along with unlimited calls + Amazon Prime + Hotstar Prime. None of this is actually getting utilized.
So I am thinking to port my Idea to Airtel and add this number to Airtel's Family Plan. Move Dongle's sim to some other mobile, and get Data only Sim for Dongle. This sounds good for me, but if speeds are capped, then its no use as occassionally when I use Dongle for office purpose, it gives me good speed (up to 7-8 Mbps enough for Microsoft Teams calls and office work). But if speed drops in Family plan this whole exercise is waste for me.

Can anybody on Airtel Family Plan confirm about speed drops, and to what speeds if it happens.

 

[Nithishsaba]

i didnt face any speed drops in both the numbers, i was on the 799 plan or something and converted back to prepaid 2 months ago

 

[SVK]

@Nithishsaba after converting to Prepaid, how was speed for 4G compared to Postpaid plan, same or reduced?

 

[Nithishsaba]

No, i didnt face any speed drops on prepaid it was same as postpaid

Can we change Primary number on Airtel Family Plan?
E.g. I have Dongle number which would become primary number when I add other Child numbers. Later can I make 1 of Child number as Primary number?

 

[Nithishsaba]

I think it is possible, you can just remove the family plan and can just make the family plan from dongle's number. but i think you will be charged as you have to go back to a regular plan and again make the family plan.

@pachabhut Does one get incoming calls on the data only connection or is the SIM only intended for a 4G dongle or router?

Only dongle. Or devices like cellular iPads which don’t support calling. No, you can’t make or receive calls or SMS.
