Can i queue the yearly plan ₹2498? currently using ₹598 plan

only unlimited data plans can be queued not yearly

iirc Airtel said that if the current plan + new plan' validity exceeds 180 days then the new plan will be activated immediately. Otherwise, it will be queued. Need to check if that has changed.

Just bought data top-ups for two Airtel sims.

And the prices are going to increase further if the ARPU target of ₹300/user is to be realised.

Improve your network. Take my money.

If only they improved their network

They don't need to or improve only by a small amount. There will be people who would leave once these tariffs comes into practice. This would lead to less congestion on the existing infrastructure and thus better service.
Airtel's playing smart... Kick out those low paying customers to Jio or VI. If you want good service, you will have to pay... atleast that is their mantra.

Waiting for reaction from VI, although already know they would follow suit.

How long before my Rs 749 postpaid is also hiked
Already that plan is replaced by Rs 999 plan, but old users like me are still continued on it.

If only they improved their network..... could have retained their market share..... now with people getting rid of second sim..... they will further lose market share...

Airtel and Jio Annual plans together for people with 2 SIMs in best option IMO.

While I understand why they need to do this & agree that excess data is not feasible in long-term. I do wish that some low cost options remain for someone who wants to have a second-sim for some basic purposes.

We have a SIM at home for an elderly relative's banking needs (OTPs/Logins alone). Dont even need data/calling. While it is not a question of affordability - we are literally paying that monthly amount just for OTPs - not to mention the banks charging some amount for sending the OTPs.

Others may also have some numbers just as fall-back for incoming only. Having said that, we have been spoiled a bit I guess - as I remember, there was a time when 200 was indeed the minimum needed to remain connected.

I bought a Jiophone for my grandma just for this. 750 per year is quite reasonable
