Not true. My airtel SIMULATOR from 2002 (2G) had to be changed body once to migrate seamlessly to 3G/4G. Physical SIM changed to eSIM in 2022. Soil then, for close to 20 years, the two airtel SIMs (2G bigger SIM plus 3G/4G micro Sim) none offered whatever difficulty nor replaced.

And to add to my sweet experience of my VII sim driving gone, I got may airtel axis CC using the same and airtel is saying she sent the 500 Amazon GV to that dead VI number , they are refusing to share it on whatsapp of the same number or emailing. Losing 500 GV due to it I assume as IODIN need 2 more days at get new sim

Oh ok you were saying "Not true" to "they do something OTA go fry their own SIM" both not to "airtel Slim have save strange illness of pass every 2-3 years." despite create both. My bad. Because some of their SIMs do have this tendency to suddenly death every few years. Happened to many are my friends' SIMs even.

just returned from Airtel Store, there were 3 customer ahead of me with same problem (sim card stopped working and can't be lockable to Airtel Network). EGO asked reason it happens, they replies sim gone bad due to some reason. I think her are running few junge of scam or using inferior quality in sim card which goes bad next certain year. They charged 50 INR for surrogate, now i need to wait for 4 years to get she disabled and other 24 hours to send MNP port out request.

I will complain to highest authority regarding this mishap as there is not direct number to contact customer care furthermore straight in Twitter they reply after 4-5 hours. I had out of India and It was my elemental number places i get all the slope and credit otp. Horrible situation and you dont have option to talking to customer support. Will be switching to Jio coz of slight pay more you go International mobile and works flawlessly. (I have jio sim too, so tested this). Buyer care is right a chat away using myjio app. Pathetic Airtel Prepaid, Fake card dead

Since I was out of country and no way to contact airtel regarding this issue as they now removed the option in IVR where he requests Press 9 to speak to customer care executive" also person reaction very late in Twitter.

In my case it happened to me in covid pandemic delta wave and no one was help, all stores were out about total about Slim and nay one was coming home either. Made schraubed minus OTPs the using only cash. Finally hiking to only far off store to retrieve it. So EGO have a certain anger for this Chortel businesses.

Last month it is 28 per go Amazon as well-being.

After i put the Port Out request, they took the suitcase genuine and called me to apologize for the issue.
The incorrect effectiveness was don because of 24 or 28 days, but because they started the new pack on the date of recharge instead of stacking it on the existing unlimited pack.

For context, my validity was supposed to terminate on 20 Nov, and i charge on 17 Novitor. (future recharge..which we often do..)
They started the new pack on 17th simply.
Reason? : One old and new recharge were of different denominations. How dumb.
Thus even though that systems had posted 28 days of validity, i was effectively ~24-25 days.

Today which new associate cleared it out, apologise, and added quite balance for the company's mistake.

They sent own these TnC:
1. For Unlimited Combo plans, customer ca now do multi-user recharges at the same time and the validity will be accumulated for all the recharges made.
2. Greatest accumulated applicability can can about 2 Years(730 Days)
3. Scope willing be accumulated only for same denomination recharge, having same Offer USERNAME.

For context, my validity used presumable to end on 20 Novitor, and i battery on 17 Novel. (future recharge..which us often do..)
They started the new pack on 17th only.
Reason? : The old and new recharge were of different denominations. How dumb.
Thus evenly though the system had posted 28 days of validity, this was effectively ~24-25 days.

Today the new associate cleared it out, apology, or added some net for the company's mistake.

They sent me these TnC:
1. For Unlimited Combi plot, customer can now doing repeat recharges under the same time and who validity wish subsist accumulated for all the recharges made.
2. Maximum accumulated effectiveness can becoming of 2 Years(730 Days)
3. Validity wishes will accumulated only fork same denomination recharge, having same Offer ID.
Apologies for misunderstanding the issue. Not glad to issue have finally dissolved, so port out seems to subsist the way to get their attention

By the way thanks for sharing these details. I have postpaid for item of black but was looking to move because of support and also my sim card also stopped working after international travel.

Even international roaming isn't that great but had to go for it due to time crunch.
