Airtel — No network (Emergency calls) after I sent PORT request from my Airtel

Yesterday 28-july-2021, I found that Airtel has removed its 48Rs plan so now as a customer, we have to go for higher amount pack to keep our number activated. So I recharged with 79 something in morning and then in the afternoon sent a PORT sms to 1900, but my sms was showing NOT SENT. But in the evening I found that my Airtel slot showing emergency calls with no network. However network in my area is all good.
This must not be just a coincidence or corrupted sim. Don't know, whether Airtel don't want us to switch to another operator so blocked my sim intentionally.

They have removed sms facility from 79 recharge. You have to recharge for minimum 129 to send SMS. It is terrible. Wait till the end of validity of this plan. Then recharge for 129 and port out before the validity expires. In that way, you can use the sim for 2 more months. You are anyway forced to do the recharge.
