Airtel Xstream with 1 OTT & Wink benefits will continue as long as plan is active. Rest are 1 time. Switch through app is for existing postpaid users.
Activating Lionsgate seems to be most VFM as other OTT are easily available. Wink is not of much use except may be the free caller tune.
IMHO, in general switch to postpaid only if someone else (your employer etc) is going to pay the bills. Else, prepaid is always better & cheaper in the long run.
Postpaid plans are a trap, just like credit card debts. Telcos want you to commit a mistake & then charge you exorbitantly.
Generally, less than 10% users are postpaid ones.
This may no longer be true at present. Airtel prepaid 1.5 GB/day now costs 299/28 days. If a family of 4 takes 999 family postpaid, incl GST the per SIM cost for 28 days work out to 272. Plus the advantage of sharing of data and unused data rollover.
Also, airtel do not change the postpaid plans of their users even if the plan is increased later for new customers. I am still using having one old 799 family plan with 3 SIMs and 140 GB shared data per mth, the per SIM cost comes to 217/28 days incl gst. For prepaid, every time there is a rate increase, once must pay higher price.
This seems to be a black composite plan. total 1799+tax for 4 postpaid SIM and 1 broadband connection with upto 200 mbps speed. if you need only postpaid, opt for normal postpaid plans.
PS: many locations of airtel only hae copper based VSDL broadband so speed would be limited to 40 mpbs.
Good share. @panchabhut
But better only till subscriptions are there.

6. Don't switch from prepaid to postpaid if the circle/area doesn't come under postpaid as it'll not allow you to change PLAN for next 90 days
