With an aim to make this transition even more convenient and seamless for its customers, Airtel is now enabling them to opt for their favorite channels with just a QR code scan on their television screen.

Customers can make their own plans or select from a range of recommended plans as per the new TRAI guidelines on channel number 998 on Airtel digital TV. Yes, it is as easy as viewing all channels and their prices, selecting them and finally just scanning a QR code to activate their selection.

After the channel or pack selection, customers have to just scan the QR code and send it to 54325 and the pack will automatically get activated starting February 1.
