Note- Smart Pack Recharges/Chhota Recharge or Packs Like Rs.49 will not work also Data Booster Like Rs.48 will Only work if you have an existing Active Pack Only case with Airtel. Currently, as of Now, Vi is Giving Separate Validity to their Data Booster Packs I Personally Checked, Also, TT Plan cant allow to Send SMS.
Vi Recharge Plans:- These are the Minimum Packs to Send “SMS”/Outgoing SMS
Plans Can be used to Keep your SIM Active/SmartPacks(Only Vi Gives Validity as of 07/07/21, Airtel Doesn’t). (If user Prefers No Outgoing SMS)
Airtel Recharge Plans:-These are the Minimum Packs to Send “SMS”/Outgoing SMS
Plans Can be used to Keep your SIM Active/SmartPacks(Only Vi Gives Validity as of 07/07/21, Airtel Doesn’t). (If user Prefers No Outgoing SMS)
Verdict- I am not Mentioning Jio here, as Jio Gives Free Incoming Validity on all Expired Plans (Jio doesn’t have any Smartpack Plans or so) and to Send SMS you need to Recharge with their Unlimited Plans just Like Vi, Airtel
All these Telcos wants more revenue from you and they think users should start using Our SIM and Services as Primary that’s why they are Hiking the Prices.

What’s the minimum rc for airtel to receive sms?
Already Mentioned in Thread! Read it
@shraaj Just Correct it.. V! won’t gives service validity for the recharge ₹19. It will work for those who have active plan. You’ve mentioned it as that it can be used to keep or sim active.
Thanks, Man! Corrected the Thread
I already mentioned it in that Section also! But,Thank You for confirming! 
By the way, just had a question, What is the use of 19Recharge? Just 100MB Data because if we are on Unlimited Plan, already the Pack will have Unlimited Calls Included! 
Thanks bro
What about rs.100 talk time recharge in vi?
I used to recharge with this. Used to give 28 days validity and next month automatically deducts rs.46 for another 28 days. Is it still same?
Now in amazon app showing talk time validity Unrestricted. What does this mean?
Its user specific offer.. ! check your offer section whether it is mentioned as 28days validity. (even though if they give 28 days service validity you can’t able to send SMS)
@mastervijay Just to keep sim active bro. So looking for good plan. In amazon app, showing talk time validity unrestricted.
validity unrestricted means.. there’s no validity/time restriction for this talkvalue. you can use the talktime balance without getting lapse.
What about vi 48 and 98 data packs will it give service Validity as earlier it was giving
In Jio can we send sms in 98 plan ?
Yes, but its validity is just 14 days.
Edit:
I stand corrected, no OG sms in this plan.
@mastervijay Thanks bro. I mean from now onwards it will work with active plan only?
which pack you’re asking about now?
Achhe din are finally here in this department. Cost of 1 SMS can be ₹129 depending on how you look at it. Sattar saal mein Congress ke raaj mein ye nahi hua tha.
Sattar saal se RTGS NEFT 24*7*365 bhi nahi hua tha
Sattar saal se NEFT IMPS (Free of Charge) bhi nahi hua tha
@mastervijay Rs.100 main balance. Gives rs.81, Used to give 28 days validity
yes from now onwards ₹100 will not give any validity.. only 81rs talkvalue in main balance. You need some active plan to use this balance.
@mastervijay Thanks bro
In vi mumbai i guess rs. 48 plan gives plan validity of 28 days along with 3 gb data. Has anybody tried recently?
Kg+ good efforts!!
OP should add Vodafone ₹95 plan which gives ₹76 tt/56days and no outgoing sms.
Will i get 35 days or 56 days validity ?? Check screenshot below…
35 for Mumbai. Not yet updated for other cities
I want to port my sim which network is better, anyone have idea,i just want validity only
@shraaj they want revenue from us is wrong….
Having high expenditures than income…
For Cell tower mainatainance, landlord terrace tower rent, tower electricity bill , generator petrol incase of power loss…
Optical fibre grid , server maintenance, and Offices and their electricity bill…
Employees salary and hospital health coverages and pensions. Private comtractors.
Call Centres And Customer Care Salaries…
Buying Spectrum Bands…
These Are Heavy Internal Charges. Think Twice And Don’t Intimate Them.
If U Got Job In Telecom Engineer Then You Will Know All The Burdens.
Except Jio Other Networks Aksed So Many Times TRAI to Increase Prices On Operators.
This is My Statement, “All these Telcos wants more revenue from you and them to think users should start using Our SIM and Services as Primary that’s why they are Hiking the Prices”
Do you think, I said something wrong?
No one is telling them to do business if they can’t run a company, there are a lot of sectors in India, who are still in Loss Fresh Example is Zomato, Swiggy, Paytm, Cred these Startups has burnt their whole cash to make their business and run there business.
Whatever you have told in, is there the Whole Chain of Work-In Every sector Like Oil Refinery, Pharma and Chemicals, Electrical and Manufacturing huge capital is required, did you go and check anything about these sectors, they (private sectors are also loss-making eg-POWER SECTOR but still they are not complaining like these Telcos, I am an Electrical Engineer and have a Huge interest in Telecommunication!
For your Kind Information Do you know the Liberalisation Policy of India, when Government allows the private sector to do their Business, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and Many Other Companies entered and You Know What Government ask them, Do not Pay a Single Penny to us, instead of that you Pay us License Fees which should be 3-4% and AGR Fees of 8%, they have not paid a SINGLE RUPEES TO GOVERNMENT SINCE THEN…..That means ZERO REVENUE For India from Private Sector, How this is Justified if you are making money and running the business, then you have to pay money to Government, Does this Thing is not implemented in this World, they have not paid it since 2005, the Interest then rises to 95000 Crore for Vi, Airtel 41000 Crore and Tata 10000 Crore.
Also, Vodafone Plc Group is the Largest Multi-Billion Dollar Group in the UK, It has a lot of money.
Bharti Airtel is the 5th Largest Company in the World, running in 20 Countries, what do you think?
What happened @UnderNation? Haven’t replied by reading the above comment!
Thank you for posting such an useful information
Vodafone 48/98 plan service Validity still working or not? Any body recharged recently?
Okay, will do that! But 49Rs Plan is working in Maharashtra
Edit Section is Locked! 
Both my parents don’t need Internet outside home. We have wifi at home. Just need Incoming calls, sms facility would be plus but not necessary. Currently, they are on Airtel. What would be the cheapest way to achieve this on Airtel itself or any other network?
379 Plan is best for them,
6GB DATA+900 SMS+Unlimited Calling-84 Days Validity
someone shuld file PIL against these plans.
@shraaj do v need to give id proof to bsnl if port from airtel
or only the sms is enough
What kind of Proof you are asking?
ID Proof is Compulsory in all Types of PORTING and New SIM.
You have to show your PORT MESSAGE and ID Of the Person!
Is there any way to recharge Airtel no with main balance ?
No.
Seriously these telecom operators think they’re geniuses by making minimum atleast 129₹ for 24 days for outgoing sms which no one uses and should be free,removed all available sms packs and you can’t even send sms using main balance which is absolutely bullshit, as they know it’s absolutely necessary for banking apps it’s about time these banking apps adopt whatsapp OTP or something better so these telecom people get fucked and brought back down to earth again.But alas it might never happen as these banks are bigger choors than telecoms.
True that.
Whatsapp OTP
Or even OTP via phone call is great
