While SMS isn’t used as much as it used to be and has mostly lost its audience, people still use it to send instructions to their carriers, as well as when the internet connection is spotty or lacking.
If you’re unable to send or receive messages on your Airtel SIM, manually inserting the Airtel message centre number is the best way to resolve the issue.
If this doesn’t help, you can contact the Airtel service centre using the toll-free 198 or 121, where you can talk to an agent from your registered number (chargeable at 50paise/3minutes).
