Maybe. I just wrote what it looked like to a random reader. For example:

It's available but it's a trial where you will be charged if you forget to cancel.

Yes.... But disney+hotstar subscription and Airtel XStream Play Premium Subscription continues for free as long as u use + pay bills on time

Here you do realize that many people could be charged even if they do not need Amazon Prime. So, you accepted that, but then added a positive point that Airtel Xtreme and Hotstar are free as long as we have active plan.

Messages like these look like accepting criticism and then adding a positive point after that

Already answered that question, please read the previous posts

So you rely on loopholes for discussions? Just because some users got complimentary benefits for users. This doesn't mean all users will get same. We know how glitchy Airtel's system is. Kindly have a discussion on proper terms and conditions.

Coming to the topic. I request team to create a poll on whether it's best to buy OTT from broadband providers, OTT aggregators or buy ala carte as per our requirement.

To be honest JIO is the sole initiator of bringing in this OTT addon war. Previously most of us were really doing fine with Non-ott plans. Now even other big ISPs are following suit like TataPlay deploying shady tactics by hiking prices.

Not some....but all r getting the free benefits applicable on that plan.... Both XStream Play Premium and Hotstar subscription r being provided complimentary with Rs. 699 Airtel Black and various other mobile/broadband plans which offers various other such benefits..... There is no such glitch but it is actually what Airtel is offering as part of these plans, i have already told that once the 1 year or 3 months free subscription period is over ur subscription gets auto deactivated and one has to claim new complimentary subscription via airtel app

Let me write it clearly.

You guys were talking about OTT benefits, and iDJ talked about how Prime does not continue after 6 months and even automatically renews by charging the customers, if they don't cancel it.

It could be a problem for those who are not much knowledgeable and will have to waste their time with customer care.

That's quite a poor thing from Airtel.

Now, in your message - including details about others is understandable but it will look like you're just adding positive as soon as you accepted something was wrong.

Your messages just look like someone who start stating positive facts as soon as you accept something negative, and since you might be more active on Airtel threads, people might just assume that you're always defending Airtel.

I don't care if you are a fanboy or not though. Just sharing my perspective on how it looks on regular people who are not bothered with defending or promoting Jio/Airtel. Not even asking you to change. Write whatever you feel like.

Again buddy read my posts again, i clearly stated Prime Video subscription is likely provided complimentary with higher plans and wherein it is provided for 6 months or 1 year as a one time free offer then before renewal date Airtel sends mail / message to customer informing on the same and i believe now they even cancel subscription and it is not auto renewed.

Also regarding 2nd part of post explaining how you or few others look upon my posts and perceive the same, well then i cannot do anything to change the wrong perception / understanding rather than explaining how i approach each topic og discussion and i have told that numerous times so won't repeat it
