Did a mistake, so warning others to not fall for it.
Back in 2025, especially the middle of it, my Airtel sim got blacked out weirdly, it had recharge and everything but suddenly when I was on call, it suddenly went off (thankfully I had a jio spare). However, I had my banking and UPI on this number, so literally had to run for it.
A local shop told me that it was blocked, and I would need the registered person for opening the block, which was not possible at that moment. After giving numerous thoughts, i had to run to an Airtel shop, and issued my problem.
The airtel clerk also told me the requirement for the registered person for the sim and lastly, I decided to purchase a new sim card. Not knowing much about the sim cards, i got tricked into purchasing a post-paid connection. A BIG Mistake.
The charges were coming very highly although the plan was set on 449, it charged me over 530 (inc taxes), man too much. However, upon various attempts, I was successfully able to connect to the Airtel customer to convert my connection to prepaid.
The other person said I had to complete the due amount although the month wasn't over, they charged me over 600, i inquired further regarding the amount and yet I had to pay for the conversion then I also had to pay for the follow up recharge.
