Why is the app called Airtel Thanks?

Why is the app called Airtel Thanks?

Airtel Thanks was introduced as their rewards program whose success prompted them to integrate all of their services around that program and its tier system.

The App was later renamed from My Airtel to further push it and make it primarily to access that loyalty program, check your current level and redeem rewards. Also, they probably wanted to differentiate from Jio as they also call their app MyJio.

Right now, they will be offering to Airtel Wi-Fi , Fiber postpaid users as a bundle. A few week later, Airtel had removed Wi-Fi plans from their official website. i think that they will revamped new plans along with Apple TV+, Apple Music+ content with x-stream users. The plan will also increase pricing most of users as per 899 INR for basic goes up to 3999 INR for premium users.

They will add new variants of plans, there won't be price increase in most plans....also if plan prices increases that will be to increase ARPU which operators revise every 6 months or so

Yes, that is what i said some new plans will be launched but old ones will also remain available

Wynk is removing songs and messing up playlists. While this is understandable, the playlist metadata should have been configured so we could migrate or import to Apple Music. Now we have to manually create again.

To add cherry on top, premium subscription is deprecated. I had paid ₹301 for one year. It had validity till June 2025. Will we be compensated for the rest of the validity duration? Don't think this will happen. It's AIRTEL and APPLE after all. Deadly combo.

But hey, they are pioneers of professionalism. They do things differently which is what separates them from the competition. (sarcasm)
