The process differs slightly for postpaid and prepaid users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Airtel Postpaid:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You can enable international roaming (IR) service without buying any pack.<\/strong> Once enabled, you will be charged at standard international roaming rates for calls, SMS, and data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To activate IR service:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the <strong>Airtel Thanks app<\/strong>: Go to the app and toggle on international roaming service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call Airtel customer care<\/strong>: Dial 121 from India or +91-99100-99100 (toll-free) from abroad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Note:<\/strong> Once IR service is enabled, it remains active until you explicitly disable it through the app or by calling customer care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Caution:<\/strong> If you use services abroad without a pack, you may incur high charges. If your usage exceeds a certain threshold, Airtel may automatically activate a &#8220;Roam Without Fear&#8221; one-day pack to protect you from excessive charges, and you will be billed for that day\u2019s pack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Airtel Prepaid:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepaid users generally need to buy an international roaming pack to enable the IR service.<\/strong> However, you can also activate IR service by paying a service activation fee of \u20b998 via the Airtel Thanks app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To activate IR service:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Airtel Thanks app<\/strong>: Activate international roaming and pay the activation fee if you do not wish to buy a pack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SMS<\/strong>: Send &#8220;IRSTART&#8221; to 121.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Call<\/strong>: Dial 121 from India or +91-99100-99100 from abroad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Important:<\/strong> Even with IR service enabled, you must maintain sufficient main balance (talktime) to use services abroad if you do not have a pack. All usage will be charged at standard international roaming rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Double-check your phone settings:<\/strong> Ensure international roaming is enabled in your device settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monitor your balance and usage:<\/strong> Charges without a pack can be very high, especially for data. Use the Airtel Thanks app to track your usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Disabling IR:<\/strong> You can turn off international roaming anytime via the app or customer care to avoid unintended charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary Table<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Step<\/th><th>Postpaid<\/th><th>Prepaid<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Enable IR<\/td><td>App or call center, no pack needed<\/td><td>App\/SMS\/call, pay \u20b998 activation fee<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Usage Charges<\/td><td>Standard rates, auto-pack if threshold<\/td><td>Standard rates, must have main balance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Disable IR<\/td><td>App or call center<\/td><td>App or call center<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You do not need to buy any international roaming pack to enable the service; just activate IR as described above and pay as you use, but be aware of potentially high charges.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to find my Airtel SIM PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code?
