Hi,
I'm facing serious issues with airtel 198. My balance is 0, I'm not able to add balance it and hence not able to send any SMS.
Here is what happened in detail:
I recharged airtel 198 on Oct 12th. As per this plan I won't get any balance but I'll get some seconds (I think, 15500) of talk time free. I was able to make calls. But since the balance is 0, I was not able to send SMS. So on Oct 14th I paid 200 and added balance of 200. I was able to send one SMS. The next day I realized that my balance has gone back to 0 (almost). It looks like my balance is converted to 198 plan and got few more seconds added. This is clearly not what I wanted. I want balance to send SMSes, not extra seconds of talk time. I contected customer care center. Different guys in the customer care say different things. One say my recharge on Oct 12th was not successful (if that was true I should not be able to make any calls on 12th Oct, but I did) and another guy says I sent an SMS on Oct 14th after the 200 recharge with some code to convert balance to 198 plan (I didn't. I don't even know the code he is talking about). Another irritating thing is that when I try to make call, I get message like "your balance is low. you cant make any call". This happens sometimes and doesn't happen sometimes. So I have to dial in a few times and wait for it to get connected.
