Could anyone please confirm what is the Auto-Debit value now in Airtel? Is it Rs 23 or Rs 45?
 
My Airtel number's validity expired last night. I didn't recharge to see what happens. It got extended to 23rd February 2020. Even main balance is there without any charges.

My BSNL's OG validity expired...I didn't & won't recharge it...Outgoing was stopped due to not recharging & suddenly they extended the validity till 23 Feb & Outgoing calls started to work again...I think it depends on the carrier's moods if they will extend or not...I am only recharging now my main number which is AirTel & a backup Vodafone number...Jio & BSNL I have stopped recharging...Vodafone doesn't extend the validity for me...I just recharge a 49 pack to keep the incoming alive on it...

Recharge with ₹48 to keep sim alive instead of ₹49. You get 3 GB data. If you recharge on 27th day. You get to carry over remaining 3 GB data to next month.

Thanks for the suggestion...My Vodafone sim validity will expire today...I will be doing 48 recharge as suggested by you...Even though I use the data of my AirTel number (I recharge the 84 days plan on it) but this 3GB may come handy when AirTel is down plus sim will also stay active...Thank You... :)

I use the process on Airtel. I hope you consult customer service before making the recharge.

It's maybe a silly question but are you sure that by recharging a plan which only gives data for 28 days will also keep the incoming active for 28 days ??

I'm kinda confused here...:p:p
