Airtel offers its customers a variety of plans and services. If you are a Bharti Airtel customer, you can switch from prepaid to postpaid, as the company provides this facility. Here, we will explain how to do this. You will also learn about the differences between the two.

First, let's understand the difference:

Prepaid plans are those for which you have to pay in advance. If you want the benefits, you have to pay first. Postpaid is the exact opposite. With postpaid plans, you use the service first and then pay later based on your usage.

However, postpaid plans also have predetermined benefits. But you can always use more and pay accordingly when the bill arrives. Postpaid is generally hassle-free. You receive the bill, and you pay. You don't need to worry about which plan to choose, how long the validity will last, or other such things. Airtel also offers many OTT benefits with its postpaid plans. Family members can also be added to these plans.

Generally, people who don't worry about money use postpaid mobile services. Now let's learn how Airtel users can switch from prepaid to postpaid.

Steps to switch from Airtel Prepaid to Postpaid:

Airtel customers can go directly to their nearest Airtel store or office to get this done. However, you can also do this through the mobile app, Airtel Thanks, or the Airtel website (airtel.in). Simply go to the postpaid segment, find the 'Switch Prepaid to Postpaid' option, and click/tap on it.

On the new page, fill in the contact details in the form and tap on 'Upgrade to Postpaid'. You will also need to submit KYC (Know Your Customer) documents to the telecom company. Then you will have to choose your preferred postpaid plan. Your phone number will remain the same, but your service will switch from prepaid to postpaid. There is no charge for this switch. Switching from prepaid to postpaid usually takes approximately 24-48 hours. Even better, there is no downtime during this switch.
