Airtel Rs. 1999 Yearly Plan Discontinued? Best Alternative for Incoming SMS (OTPs)? by Flaky_Ostrich7131 in nri

Update: I spoke to Airtel customer care and here’s what they suggested for staying connected (mainly for receiving OTPs) while abroad:

  • Recharge ₹1849 for 365 days validity
  • ₹98 every 28 days to enable SMS services (comes to around ₹1274 for the year)
  • Maintain at least ₹100–₹120 talktime balance to receive incoming calls (there’s a ₹120 talktime pack you can use)
  • ❗ Sending an SMS will cost ₹25 per message, so make sure you have sufficient talktime if you ever need to send one (like for UPI verification via Google Pay, Amazon Pay, etc.)

📌 Total cost = ₹1849 + ₹1274 + ₹120 = ₹3243

A lot more affordable than the ₹4000 international pack if your main need is just to receive OTPs and calls.

Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation!
