airtel how to switch from prepaid postpaid

If you are a Bharti Airtel customer, then here's how you can switch from prepaid to postpaid. Firstly, know the difference between the two. The prepaid plans are the plans for which you need to pay upfront. If you want benefits, pay first. Postpaid is exactly opposite to this. For postpaid plans, you consume first, then pay later based on usage. While postpaid plans also have pre-determined benefits, you can always consume more, and then pay more for it when the bill arrives. Postpaid is generally hasslefree consumption. You get a bill, you pay. No two thoughts on which plan to select, for how long the validity will work, and such.
