General Discussions on Bharti Airtel

Hi friends. I am using airtel prepaid and I would like to port out. Is there a way I can get the UPC without having an unlimited plan active on my number? My outgoing has expired, and I dont want to recharge again (the minimum recharge now is Rs 199 with just 2GB of data).

What is the best way to port out of airtel without recharging?

You have to take the 199 plan to port out, main balance doesn't work for port out messages

Yeah I know. Isn't this unfair trade practice? I have severe network issues at my place and unable to use airtel network at all. Why should I recharge, just to port out? Is there a way out? Will my new operator offer to provide the same plan at no cost? Any such things happen?

Airtel seems to have discontinued all the data packs with "existing validity". Could anyone confirm?

Yes Airtel has secretly played this sinister trick by removing Existing validity on most well known data packs.

This AI/ML is nothing but switching off RAN hardware when not in use or no/low load, especially at night times

But this power saving is active on Airtel Nokia since like 2020 atleast. At this point they just want something to do PR cuz they can't upgrade their network or backhaul
