Bharti Airtel has launched three new voice-and-SMS-only prepaid recharge plans in India, with prices starting at Rs 185. The new plans offer unlimited voice calling and SMS benefits without bundled mobile data, giving subscribers an alternative to regular prepaid recharges that include internet access.
Airtel Voice-Only Prepaid Recharge Plans List
The new Airtel recharges are priced at Rs 185, Rs 203 and Rs 206, with validity periods ranging from 28 days to one calendar month. The launch comes ahead of the October 21 deadline set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for telecom operators to introduce dedicated voice-and-SMS-only plans under its revised rules.
Airtel is basically the first telecom operator to roll out these new plans. Here is a breakdown of Airtel's new voice-only prepaid recharge plans and the benefits they offer.
| Airtel Prepaid Recharge Plan | Validity | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Rs 185 | 28 days | Unlimited local, STD and roaming calls, 300 SMS and free HelloTunes |
| Rs 203 | 30 days | Unlimited local, STD and roaming calls, 300 SMS and free HelloTunes |
| Rs 206 | One calendar month | Unlimited local, STD and roaming calls, 300 SMS and free HelloTunes |
All three plans exclude bundled mobile data and are aimed at subscribers who primarily use their connections for voice calls and text messages. The Rs 185 plan is the most affordable option, while the Rs 203 recharge offers 30 days of validity for Rs 18 more.
The Rs 206 plan, meanwhile, follows a calendar-month validity cycle, allowing users to renew their recharge on the same date each month.
The plans also include free HelloTunes, allowing subscribers to set a caller tune without paying extra. Customers can find the new recharges on Airtel's official website and mobile app.
The new Airtel plans could benefit feature phone users, subscribers who maintain a secondary SIM primarily for calls and people who rely on Wi-Fi for internet access.
By offering recharges without bundled data, Airtel gives these users a dedicated option for staying connected through calls and SMS without paying for an unused data allowance.
