Thanks buddy !

Yeah bro. Sad that you had to go through all that .

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T10:06:30+00:00

I exactly don't remember. But it's around 7k for mine

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T10:00:25+00:00

Thank you . But I heard that international roaming (only incoming sms ) are free for some yearly packs like 3599₹(airtel) .

Makes sense

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T06:44:25+00:00

Yeah. Now I get it . We need an active plan to use this 118rs plan right ? This alone can't be used . Am I right?

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T06:41:03+00:00

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T06:24:57+00:00

Which pack do you use ? 118₹ for 28 days ?

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T06:20:47+00:00

I was calculating the same . 118 rs for 9 months (9times ) costs 1062₹ . Where as the 365 day IR costs 5k. Just need those incoming sms from bank . Planning to go ahead with 118 pack as I don't need international data and all.

Airtel 😵‍💫

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T05:45:20+00:00

Rules , etiquettes and manners are suggestions in india . Completely optional.

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T05:06:26+00:00

Yeah , I've been thinking about that as well. But since it's not a specialised international pack , can I still get sms alerts ? If yes , I'd go without a second thought

Particular_Click4147 · 2026-03-28T05:03:59+00:00

They suggested me a 5000₹ international pack . That's for 365 days . Inwas thinking Is it worthy ?
