If you are an Airtel subscriber, you might have received a message from the company informing you that your services have been discontinued. The message asks users to recharge their mobile numbers in order to continue using the services.
If you have received the message, do not fret as a technical glitch has forced the subscriber to send such a message to its subscribers. Several users reported the issue on Twitter.
Users said that they received a message from Airtel that read, “Your ongoing services have been discontinued.
To continue, click airtel.in prepaid/prepaid-recharge or dial 121.” Now if your prepaid pack is over, you should recharge your number. But if you have recharged your number recently and still got the message, you should simply ignore the message.
A Twitter user shared the screenshot of the message and wrote, “Dear @Airtel_Presence @airtelindia,I have received the below message on all my numbers. Is it due to some system error? All my numbers have valid active plans. Suggest, please.
To which, Airtel replied, “Due to a technical error at our end you may have received a wrong SMS regarding deactivation of services. Please ignore the same. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.”
