Airtel Quietly Discontinues Rs 189 Voice-Only Plan in India, Rs 199 Becomes New Minimum Recharge
Bharti Airtel has discontinued its Rs 189 voice-only prepaid plan, making Rs 199 the new minimum recharge option. The move reportedly reflects the telecom industry’s shift towards data-centric plans. The Rs 199 plan offers unlimited calls, 100 SMS per day, 2GB of data for 28 days, and perks like Hello Tunes and a Perplexity Pro AI subscription. While suitable for smartphone users, the change raises costs for rural and budget-conscious customers who relied on simple, affordable voice-only options.
