Having said that, Bharti Airtel's primary aim behind launching these plans is to making voice calling affordable for users. For example, until now Airtel offered talk time recharges of Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 30 and so on, to its users. Interestingly, Airtel also removed the talk time recharges of denomination above Rs 20, meaning users have to rely on the new Smart Recharge plans.
