I woke up tonight to carry out some downloads on the Airtel Night Browsing Data Plan. I left my phone on last night so when I woke up to a fluctuating mobile data service that goes off for some minutes after it comes on, I suspected the phone had developed a fault. I tried another airtel line in another phone, and it had a stable browsing network and I became convinced that the phone had an issue.

i quickly subbed on the other line and googled what the problem could be. The solutions bordered on 'wipe cache', 'soft reset' and 'factory reset'. I tried the first two but it didn't solve it. I was unwilling to factory reset and lose all my data, and since my device is not rooted, backup to restore was going to be a full time job.

I googled more and came upon this set of solutions whose first step was for me to contact my service providers and confirm that there is no problem at their end. Just then, I remembered that I put 'Airtel' messages on blacklist. On checking it, there was a message stating specifically that there will be an upgrade within the early hours of today, which explains my problem. Choi! What a sigh of relief.

I have since removed Airtel from my blacklist. Shout out to those who experienced the same problems and those prepared to call Airtel a scam this morning.

Have you downloaded Google's own video calling app, 'Google Duo'.. It was available for download on google play yesterday. Install and spread the word. It was a nice experience. Available only for Android devices

Issokay...

@OP, Google Duo was launched for Android and IOS simultaneously, so it's available on both platforms.
