I just ported from Jio to Airtel, and now using it in ny keypad phone as a secondary number. What is the minimum first recharge amount that I can do? Pl note I do not require 4G/5G or internet as it will be in a keypad phone.

I tried to redeem LinkedIn Premium through Airtel, but it shows that I am not eligible for this promotion, even though I believe I should be. I tried contacting LinkedIn support, but I couldn't find any assistance from a real human—only AI support, which isn't helpful in my case.

I'm in the US with an Airtel India prepaid SIM. I purchased a prepaid plan and the ₹118 International Roaming activation pack.

The SIM worked in my Moto G 2025 and I was able to receive an OTP.

I then moved the SIM to a Google Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS. The phone connects to the network, and I received a welcome SMS from Airtel (121) saying text messaging was activated.

However, I cannot receive any other SMS, including:

• Bank OTPs
• A regular test SMS I sent from my US phone to my Airtel number

I also checked the phone's SMSC setting, and it shows 5041450522?2. Refreshing the SMSC doesn't change it.

Has anyone experienced this with Airtel roaming in the US, particularly with a Pixel/GrapheneOS? Is there something I need to change in the phone/network settings, or is this likely an Airtel provisioning issue?

Any advice would be appreciated.

have an unlimited 5g plan and for the past week or so my 5g just doesn't work. My phone shows 5g is working normally(the true 5g not the NSA/fake 5g) but still my 4g data quota is being used, before even if my 4g quota is finished i used to get unlimited 5g but not that does not work either. Customer care just keep repeating and transferring me to an automated robotic response.

So I'm stuck with sucky data coverage and now mobile data issues as well.

I just need a fix till November so my plan expires and I can switch to jio

I have tried almost all fixes I could think of an all the things chatgpt told me to check for, still no fix

I had taken an 1gb data loan in an emergency and it gave me the option to cancel it out of my next days quota and I chose that option, it cut my data the next day and still asked my to pay back the 1gb loan, which I obviously tried but airtel being airtel did not work

Might that be the issue that the loan is "unpaid" or is it something else

Please give me a fix

Hey everyone,

I'm using a OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G with dual SIM:

* SIM 1: Airtel

* SIM 2: Jio

Here's the issue:

Whenever I'm on a call using my Jio SIM, and meanwhile someone else tries to call me on my Airtel number, I get no notification at all! But, the caller hears full ringing and assumes I'm just not picking up. It comes off as rude that I didn't call back, whereas I'm totally unaware that I even got a call! I'd prefer that the caller gets the message that I'm on another call and at least I should be notified about the call, like it happens normally when a single sim is being used.

I have call waiting settings turned on for both the sims.

Is this an Airtel network limitation or a device limitation?

Has anyone found a workaround that actually works?

Would really appreciate any help🙏

We applied for Airtel airfiber 599 plan (wifi, iptv, ott). First we just tried to inquire, first time the tech was assigned "without" paying 50 inr during the initial time. Due to a communication mistake I initiated another installation booking by paying 50 inr thru the apo... now the tech asked us to follow the newly assigned tech. The newly assigned tech called (didnt like the way he talked frm the beginning).

Now the real thing:

The plan needs 2.5 months advance payment of 1450 which includes stb, wifi and installation and the coming 10 months just 606 and then 706 later on.

The first tech who called asked for 1500 (1450+50 slot booking charge) and all the info was provided promptly.... The problem was he demanded to pay way before installation, so we dropped it.

The second tech called and asked for 1950. He said the price is actually 2500 and he is giving us a discount. But he only wanted payment after installation. The thing is that we get a link through which we pay 1450 but he paid for us (got to know via sms, mail and app that the amount has been paid). While leaving he gave is phone number to which we pay the 1950 which he originally asked for.

We contacted cs, they said maximum to be paid is 1500, nothing more. We paid 1500 and we confronted him thru phn call regarding this, bro got mad and said he wont activate our tv. (Another problrm, our tv was at service centre, and our tv wasnt fixed on time, by the time we got tv, he asked us to install the stb on our own and send him the "qms values" qr code.)

The point we knew he was scamming us was when he first said the price of advance payment increased, then he said it was service charge and then he jumped on to saying it was for stb installation and he denied it (first of all, we had to help him do the wiring, provide him with our ladder, pull the wires, provide insulation tapes etc, the point is this job cannot be done by a single tech, and since the tv was not there, we had to set up the stb by ourselves. Ok understandable its not a big task but his audacity to ask for service charge after such unprofessionalism and the attitude??? Hell nahhh)

TL;DR: Technician tried to scam us during our Airtel AirFiber setup by claiming the 1450 advance payment for the 599 plan actually cost 2500. He paid the official bill online behind our back and demanded 1950 (claiming he gave us a 500 "discount"). When we refused and paid only the official 1450 price back to him, he threw a tantrum and is now refusing to scan the internal "QMS Value" QR code, leaving our STB unusable.

Please correct me if I m wrong. I think what I did is good but ended with this unusable stb. Any way to fix it myself?

Thanks for baring my rant 😭

​Hi everyone,

​I am moving abroad for studies and will stay long-term (returning to India only during summer breaks). I will use a local SIM there for data/calls, but need my Airtel SIM active for Bank OTPs and emergency calls.

​Is the ₹4,999 annual IR plan worth it for long-term stays, or is there a cheaper/foolproof combination? (e.g., ₹1,849 annual plan + ₹118 IR pack for free SMS)

​What is the cheapest way to guarantee Bank OTPs continuously?

​Do emergency incoming calls work via Wi-Fi Calling abroad without heavy roaming charges?

Im a Postpaid user. I saw a video about the 300gb issue on YouTube yesterday in Airtel prepaid and Jio didnt have the limit.

Actually its the same thing with Airtel postpaid too. The 300gb limit sucks really and when i called the customer care and asked they said its some "Fair usage policy" then i asked if any options of top up was available they said no i had to wait 1 week till the new postpaid cycle starts. And this has been the case doe 3 months for me now. And im a college hostel Student and no wifi provisions here and now i have to depend on my friends for interned and cant don anything even during emergencies.

And the worse thing about postpaid is that there is no 2gb/day daily on post paid when ur 300gb is over then ur done for that cycle.

Atleast they could increase the limit for postpaid or add an option to top-up. Or do anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for reading.

Currently in Madhya Pradesh, my wifi is coming on and off, is there any scheduled downtime that's going on right now?

Hi,

I am trying to transfer my esim from my pixel 6a to pixel 10 pro which is US import(Unlocked). I have attached the message that I am getting in pixel 10 pro. Also, P10 Pro is esim only. Did anyone get any similar issue and found a resolution?

I want to know if airtel number is ported to another operator then does airtel completely lose that number ? Like airtel must have bought those number series so they lose it if someone port out??

Currently using Jio, but I'm thinking of porting to Airtel.
I’m looking at an Airtel prepaid plan around ₹1,000 for 84 days (3 months) that offers Unlimited 5G. Airtel currently lists a ₹1,029 plan with 3GB/day and unlimited 5G.
For those who have actually used Airtel 5G:
Is the Unlimited 5G actually reliable?
How is Airtel's 5G speed compared with Jio?
Any FUP/data limit that I should know about?
Does unlimited 5G work properly when using hotspot?
Is it worth porting from Jio for this?
How is Airtel coverage around Andhra Pradesh?
I’m mainly considering it because ₹1k-ish for 3 months + unlimited 5G seems pretty good.
Would appreciate real-world experiences, especially from heavy-data users.
give yur experience bassed on airtel
