Airtel Prepaid Tariff will be hiked from 26 November, 2021

Airtel is fine. I have no complaints - Datawise - at office Jio/Voda were crap, Airtel was still good. Calling-wise home & office also it is fine.

P.S - I have been using Airtel as Postpaid/Prepaid from 2006 (First 2 years carried office mobile)

Get max 730 days of validity by doing multiple recharges.

So this is the cutoff limit...

Just extended my validity upto 13-07-2023
Here are the details-:
Currently left validity before all recharges 65 days
2 X 598 plan = 84 X 2 days = 168 days added
2498 rs plan = 365 days
Overall validity left after recharges = 598 days
Apparently i can add 132 days more.
Edit-: Added another 84 days.
I feel like i got into intimate LTR without much due diligence.

Thanks to jio even though Airtel increased prices they actively adding more spectrum and towers. Before jio era only price will increase no change in coverage. If Airtel really want to go premium they should provide quality services if they can give an average speed of 15 Mbps at 2 bars I will be satisfied

Is it me or every Airtel user here gets poor upload speeds? My ups range from 200kb to 1000kb to 1500kb max with CA. Without CA it does go to 3-4 Mbps.

So I have 250+ days left. I can do a 1498 & make it last to aug-2023 ?

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.

As a policy, Airtel has never themselves changed plans for existing postpaid users. They change only when the user wants.

 

[mhsabir]

This they do both ways - they never revise downward too.

Vi has also announced price hike in similar lines. Jio will follow, but after some time, after pulling Airtel/Vi to port in.
Right now Jio 1.5GB/84 days plan costs 444 after adjusting 111 (20% jiomart) cashback. For jio users, best to queue up 8-10 plans, doing one recharge per day to ensure full cashback. You will be price protected for next 2 years.
