We are shifting to the Netherlands from India. I just wanted to get suggestions on the international roaming for Indian Sim. We found Airtel’s annual international plan, which costs 15k for the year. Is there a way to keep my number Active and have incoming SMS? Do let us know if you have better suggestions.

    But why do you need an international roaming plan for a year? If it’s just to keep the sim active or to receive OTP, you can do it by 1800 annual recharge. With this 1800 recharge, do you get incoming calls also or SMS? Just SMS. for incoming calls, you need to have more than 75Rs balance, but you cannot pick up. Because it will charge you around 75/min.!! So, in case you need to receive incoming calls. Then go with an international roaming plan.

    You don’t need to buy international roaming plan. It will be way too expensive. Buy a local prepaid sim in Netherlands and use for your local and data purposes.

    By default, international roaming is enabled on airtel so you will get signal but just don’t pick or dial calls from airtel sim. Also, don’t use data from airtel sim. Use data from local sim and use WhatsApp of India number for calling India or receiving calls from India.
