Sad News Airtel, Idea and Vodafone now requires you to recharge with a minimum pack to keep your sim alive

The thing is that cell phones are now such a necessity that even the low-income daily wage earners have multiple phones. Wonder how much they will cope up with the tariff hikes.

Yes. They have to start living with one phone with only one sim. Actually the problem today is nothing big, comparing the day 2G gets closed (within 5-6 years).

Yes, I have observed only Rs 19 Unlimited Plan valid for 1 day, or Rs 48 3GB Data pack valid for 28 days may be activated using Talktime Balance on airtel prepaid.

Other packs cannot be activated using Talktime Balance. Please correct me if I am wrong.

As I can see, now even Rs 19 and Rs 49 plans cannot be activated using Main Balance in airtel. Looks like there have been some recent changes. Does anyone know full details of what has changed?
