Bharti Airtel is easily one of the best choices for prepaid consumers right now. The Sunil Bharti Mittal led telecom operator has curated its plans in such a manner that they have the edge over the competing plans from Reliance Jio. Although the plans are higher priced as compared to Reliance Jio, even then there is the benefit of unlimited calling on most prepaid plans from Airtel which make these plans a very attractive offering. Not only this but also the additional benefits which the Airtel plans come with are something that the subscribers will not find in any other prepaid plan. However, with all this being said, Bharti Airtel is also the telecom operator which requires its subscribers to have a minimum recharge in their account to keep their services active. For some of the subscribers who do not use their Bharti Airtel as their primary SIM, this means that they will still have to spend some amount on their Airtel recharges so that they can keep their incoming services active. There are the Airtel Smart Recharges for this purpose. While the subscribers had lot more choices before the recent changes, there are three smart recharges they can currently buy.

Bharti Airtel Smart Recharge of Rs 23
For the Bharti Airtel subscribers, if they want to keep their account active with the least possible spend on their part, then they would have to shell out at least Rs 23 per 28 days to keep their account running. This recharge would simply get the subscribers validity of 28 days and nothing else. There is no data benefit or talk time benefit in this plan. The plan will simply ensure that you keep getting incoming calls on the number that you have recharged.
