[Resolved]  Airtel — Recharge page is unclear leading to wrong recharge

Address:Nagpur, Maharashtra, 440022

I have been Airtel customer for years and love the service but there have few been a few times recently I have faced disappointments.

I would like to bring this one to your attention. I am sure this has been faced by many many of your loyal Airtel customers.

On your Airtel recharge page https://www.airtel.in/prepaid-recharge there is a recharge listed for Rs. 197 which benefits new customers only.
Your website mentions:
1GB(3G)+1GB 3G(night) SR only For greater than 90 days - 500 MB 3G

The website says "SR only" but there is no way to know what it means. Many unsuspecting loyal customers are doing this recharge and getting just 500 MB data because they are "old" customers. Instead of this they could have done Rs. 175 recharge which gives 1 GB data for 28 days i.e. 28GB of total data.

I have recharged today for Rs. 197 due to the same confusion and would like mine to be switched to Rs. 175 recharge. I can deal with Rs. 22 loss but otherwise my Rs. 197 recharge is total waste. Please give me a recharge of Rs. 175 instead of the Rs. 197 which I already paid through PayTM.
At the very least I will suggest you to atleast correct the Airtel recharge page.
