This is also for selected users only for all its 24 days validity only

Yes, correct.
For my number I am seeing:
Rs 239 plan with 1.5GB/day for 28 days
Rs 265 plan with 1GB/day for 28 days

The Rs 239 plan is on offer for me, I guess, it is usually not available for all.

If I want to port out from Airtel Postpaid, then apart from Bill due, how much excess payment should I do?
Eg: If my Plan is Rs 299 + GST = Rs 359, then per day works out to be around: Rs 12.
If my plan Billing Cycle is ending on 31st Jan and I go to new operator on 1st Feb, then I need to pay:

• My due bill: Rs 359 (for month of Jan)
• Approximately 5 days additional: Rs 12 x 5 = Rs 60.
• Anything more?

Also, how do I make this excess payment? Apps like AmazonPay, Paytm, Freecharge dont allow any payment if there is no payment due, so after I pay my bill of Rs 359, how do I pay the excess Rs 60? This is required as if any amount is due (bill or unbilled), then the operator might reject the port out request.

As long as you don't have any outstanding it's fine to port out. May be you can port out exactly after your bill payment. Make sure your payment is reflected. Any outstanding after port out will be still be billed and you have to pay. I had some 23 rupees outstanding i guess. They blocked my number in the new operator after a month or so.

The twist is you no longer have the ability to pay custom amount in any app i guess. When i ported out I had that ability.

To avoid this situation, isn't it best to pay some additional amount like Rs 60 - Rs 80 earlier itself? What did you do after they blocked your number in the new operator?

I had to call my old operator and confirmed about the payment and they notified the current operator. But there was delay for sure.

Another thing is if you pay more than the bill, they will send a cheque to your billing address for the excess amount.

So just pay more than the expected bill.

Thanks, earlier in the threads on this forum, I had read about certain operators giving 56 day plan free for porting in to them. Is this still happening, and which operators do it? Where to get these offers?
