Bharti Airtel launches three voice-only prepaid recharge plans starting at ₹185, ahead of a TRAI deadline. The plans are positioned as tariff options that include unlimited calls and a limited SMS allowance, while excluding mobile data.
According to reports, the voice-only offerings are priced at ₹185, ₹203 and ₹206. Each plan includes unlimited calling and 300 SMS, with no data included. The rollout follows a regulatory direction from TRAI that requires telecom operators to expand voice-and-SMS-only options and adjust tariffs accordingly, reducing charges linked to data absence.
Outlets describe the move primarily as compliance with the regulator’s mandate and as a new product set for customers who need voice and messaging rather than data. The specific timing—before the stated deadline—and the plan features are consistently reported across sources, with no major differences in the core details.
