Bharti Airtel is reportedly giving some prepaid users a free second recharge on two popular plans. The offer covers the Rs. 349 and Rs. 399 packs and shows up in the Airtel Thanks app. Users have shared screenshots of it on social media.
The deal is listed as '1+1 Recharge Free.' If you recharge with either plan, you get another recharge of the same value at no extra cost. Both plans run for 28 days, so the free recharge could stretch your validity to 56 days.
Airtel has not shared full details yet. It has not said how the extra recharge will be added to your account.
The Rs. 349 plan gives 2GB of high-speed data every day. You also get unlimited 5G data in areas where Airtel has 5G. Calls to any number in India are unlimited, and you get 100 SMS a day. Extra perks include a 12-month Adobe Express Premium plan, Airtel Safe services, and free HelloTunes.
The Rs. 399 plan has no daily data cap. You get unlimited 4G and 5G data. It also comes with unlimited local and STD calls, 100 SMS a day, and the same 12-month Adobe Express Premium plan.

The offer seems to be open only to selected prepaid users. Not every number will see it. Open the Airtel Thanks app and go to the prepaid recharge section. Look at the Rs. 349 and Rs. 399 plans. If either one shows the '1+1 Recharge Free' tag, your number is eligible. If you don't see the tag, the offer has not reached your account.
If your number qualifies, this is an easy way to save money. You could get two months of service for the price of one. Since Airtel has not confirmed the offer, check the app before you pay. Also look at how the free recharge is credited after you buy. The deal is also said to be for a short time, so it may end soon.
