Airtel currently serves over 380 million users in India. The company offers several affordable prepaid plans with 365-day validity in its portfolio. Earlier this year, following directives from TRAI, the company introduced two voice-only plans for users. One of these plans offers 84 days validity and another 365 days validity. Both options include unlimited calling and free SMS.
These long-term Airtel plans are aimed at users who use their Airtel number as a secondary SIM or primarily use it solely for calling. The 365-day validity plans eliminate the hassle of recharging their number throughout the entire year.

- Calling: Unlimited calling anywhere in India (including free national roaming)
- SMS: A total of 3,600 free SMS

It is worth noting that this plan is designed specifically for calling and SMS benefits and does not include any data. Users who require data can easily top up their number with one of Airtel's data add-on packs.

Meanwhile, TRAI’s recently released subscriber report for October 2025 highlights continued growth in the Indian telecom sector. India's total number of telephone subscribers reached 123.1 crore. Of this, 118.4 crore were mobile users, while 4.6 crore subscribed to wireline services. Mobile users specifically recorded a marginal 0.19 per cent increase compared to the previous month, a trend attributed to the ongoing expansion of pan-India connectivity.
