Airtel Smart Recharge: What Is It? What Does Airtel Offer?

Airtel smart recharge: This is a solution the telco offers to help users maintain basic services to keep getting calls with a minimum balance.

Most prepaid subscribers have got the benefits from their prepaid combos, but some don’t get talk time benefits. In 2019, Bharti Airtel killed talk-time recharges, after which many users had problems as they no longer had the free incoming call benefit. To make up for this loss, Airtel smart recharge packs were created.

What is smart recharge in Airtel?

Smart recharge Airtel packs are offered for prepaid subscribers to maintain a minimum balance in their accounts so they can keep using services.

Some smart recharge also includes some mobile data to provide users with an appropriate solution for their cellular needs.

Why is Airtel smart pack recharge important?

As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, last year, Airtel killed the talk time plans and introduced a minimum recharge scheme. With the scheme, prepaid users have to recharge after every 28 days or they cannot make calls starting the day when their plans expire. In addition, incoming calls will be barred after 15 days.

Not all users can recharge the Rs 119 prepaid plan monthly, so Airtel decided to introduce smart charge plans.

The Rs 35 Airtel smart recharge plan offers 100MB of data along with Rs 26.55 worth of talk time. The plan is valid for 28 days.
