Breaking Airtel Prepaid tariff to be hiked by 20–25% from 26 November 2021

[Mr.Bhat]

Bro, there is one hack. Buy recharges as vouchers, which has no limits. I once had 250 or so vouchers (all bought by using Rs50 discount coupons). Another plus point of vouchers is, you can later transfer that to any one. I am looking for buying a dozen Rs1499 vouchers for my family member's future use.

But how much it's profitable if we buy for few years? Calculate at least 8% Interesest per year...Forget about possible hike..

How to opt 79 plan from main balance in Airtel. ? Any ussd codes for it ?

So all these price hikes are to get more funds for 5G that's not good.

Airtel is anyways not good in my area. I kept a secondary SIM to keep track of indoor coverage but no progress so far even after 3 years. Time to get rid of it

Right now in my secondary number Jio, I have earlier (2.5 years back) paid just Rs349 (Rs399 - Rs50 voucher) with benefits UL calls + 100SMS/day + 1.5GB/day for 84 days. It will be Rs719 for the same benefits from 26th Nov. So I am already enjoying the same benefits by paying just 48% --> 52% benefits in my case.

No investment (without a risk) like FD gives 8% interest now. So calculating with at least 8% interest per year is wrong, imho. 5-6% is fair enough. Also returns from investment (again without risk) is always smaller than inflation as well. So the loss of interest value is more than compensated by inflation already. For example, the amount I saved today by not doing advanced recharges this year, will not buy me the same amount of goods / service by next year.

So guys with BB in home / office, it is better to go for Rs1498 in Airtel / Rs1299 in Jio. There are data top-ups with base plan's validity for emergency heavy usage, in both Airtel as well as Jio.
