While for most of the prepaid subscribers, the combo prepaid offerings have swept the stage, there are still some prepaid SIM users who miss the talk time era. Last year, when Bharti Airtel did away with talk time recharges, many users were lost in a dilemma since they gave up the lifetime free incoming calling benefit and the conventional recharge plans which were in usage since decades. However, to fill up for that gap, Bharti Airtel soon introduced Smart recharge packs for the prepaid subscribers so that they can maintain the minimum balance in their accounts to keep their services running. Some of the smart recharges also bundle some amount of data too, thus giving a user an appropriate solution for his or her cellular needs. Here are the details of the smart recharges which are available in Bharti Airtel’s portfolio.

Why Smart Recharge Plans are Important?
As noted, Bharti Airtel removed the talk time plans last year and also introduced minimum recharge scheme. Minimum recharge scheme essentially means prepaid subscribers will have to recharge for every 28 days, otherwise, their outgoing calling will be barred on the day when their unlimited combo plan expires, followed by incoming voice calling expiry after 15 days. Of course, not everyone will be able to recharge the Rs 119 prepaid plan every month, so that’s why Airtel has launched these Smart Recharge plans starting at Rs 23 and going all the way up to Rs 245.
Smart Recharge Pack of Rs 245
The first smart recharge is the Rs 245 prepaid recharge which comes with 84 days validity and offers full talk time of Rs 245. In addition to the talk time, the recharge pack also bundles 2GB data which is for the entire validity period of 84 days. In this smart recharge pack, the calls are charged at 30p/min for local, STD and landline.
