How to Deactivate an Airtel Friends Chat

1. Compose a new SMS on your cell phone and type '
' (without quotes) in the SMS body. Send this SMS to '121.'
2. Wait for Airtel to acknowledge and show you the list of the services to which you have subscribed. The list will include 'Friends Chat.'
3. Choose the option 'Reply' to the SMS and type '5.' This is the option number at which the Friends Chat service is listed. Upon sending the SMS, you will receive another SMS from Airtel, which will require you to enter a particular number in reply to the message. This will confirm that you wish to remove the Friends Chat service from your Airtel account.
