In this article, we will check out the – Best New Airtel Prepaid Recharges based on usage that are currently available. I have segregated the plans based on low, medium, and high voice and data usage, so you find the best plan and spend the least on telecom.
Airtel offers a lot of different packs and recharges for its millions of users. The company is the No. 2 mobile operator in India and is second to JIO in subscriber market share.
Also, I have shared the details about “Airtel Smart Recharges” that you will need for using the Airtel Sim for only incoming calls or as a secondary sim card.
Best Plans For Voice Only Usage
The table below has a talk time plan with unlimited validity from low to high cost. You can do a Talktime recharge and make calls. However, if you use the sim to make a lot of calls and also use data, we will suggest getting the Data+Voice Combo unlimited plan. You will also need a Smart Recharge for validity; otherwise, these will not work.
