Hello folks!
I've Seen alot of ranting and irateness about bb plans not working on Android from 3RD DECEMBER. Thot I should create this thread (as a back end staff) to clear doubts and possibly answer questions (and hopefully not get insulted) on matter at hand
A typical Airtel prepaid line has 1 main account and 10 dedicated accounts. (access dedicated accounts by dialing *123*123#).
Now, these 10 accounts manage several transactions such as free sms, free on net calls, etc. I'd talk about dedicated accounts 9 and 10(which is why we won't be able to use bb plans as hotspot or on other devices).
Before now, bb subscriptions and regular data plans were managed by dedicated account 10. This is why we could use subscription on Android et al.
From 3rd December, all legacy bb subscriptions would be moved to dedicated account 9. This account is programmed to work ONLY if the system detects a bb phone being used by subscribers(don't ask how we'd know. We've got apps ppl!!!). dedicated account 10 would then only house regular data subscriptions. This is how simplified I can put it.
Those teling others to activate bb plan then override with 10mb, stop misleading ppl. These would just be seperated into different dedicated accounts 9 and 10 so when you exhaust 10mb, you so won't b able to continue on bb subscription (the way it was before. ..)
good news though: those that activated before 3rd can use their subscriptions therafter; till subscription expires. So no need to waste your respective mbs, gbs and tbs.
thinking this would reduce subscriber base? I laugh. Please check up 'LIABILITIES & ASSETS'
one question is: WILL THIS BAN ACTUALLY TAKE EFFECT FROM 3RD DECEMBER? Let's wait and see! !
EOD!!
Please note that all views expressed here are mine and not Airtel's. I'm just giving info as an insider! !
FOR BB BUNDLE USERS on bb phones (especially those that subscribed from 3rd onwards)THAT ARE HAVING ISSUES CONNECTING, Please do a hard reset immediately.
