Vi is the best . Now we don't need sim replacement or have to go to store. We can convert our number to postpaid/prepaid with single click of a button and it will automatically be done between 10 PM - 12 AM same day if done before 6 PM. Best service from Vi. Now I can again try out postpaid without any hastle.

but does it work for converting postpaid to prepaid?

Yes, Under their T&C's it is mentioned that it won't work until 90 days (due to porting rule from TRAI). After it you can switch it.

otp based conversion thing seems to be only to get prepaid people to 'upgrade' to postpaid.

Q - Can I convert postpaid to prepaid?

A - After raising this request, you will be unable to convert back to Prepaid service within 90 days.

As they said within 90 days. Probably it can be done. I have asked their CC let's see what they say.

No chance in 7th hell.

Vi is notorious for not letting go of their postpaid customers.
Vi prepaid is also the only one that permits both data rollover and secondary balance rollover and has standalone data packs without any need for "base" pack. Why would anyone want to convert to postpaid.

So... one can get rid of the daily data saga?

Yes, Vi is great in terms of all this. In need of emergency data one can easily recharge with standalone plan. Postpaid is for those who want priority & many people use it's 699₹ plan as a broadband replacement.

It's great if they are allowing this. Airtel will let you very easily convert from prepaid -> postpaid but you have to visit their office if you want to go back.
