What is the first prepaid recharge plan to activate the prepaid SIM card?

When purchasing a new prepaid SIM card in India, the first step is to complete the First Recharge Coupon or FRC, which is the name given to the first recharge plan. The first recharge is not only a step in the purchasing process, but also mandatory to activate your SIM and provide you with a working mobile number. If you do not first complete the recharge step, your new SIM will not activate, and you will not be able to make phone calls, use the internet, or send SMS.

The FRC contains starter pack benefits. It usually includes validity, talktime, and data. The details and price point of your FRC will be based on the policies of your operator, and could be subject to regional differences, etc. You should be able to select an FRC that matches your requirements, whether this be on validity, data, or the volume of talktime included in your package plan.

You could do the first recharge at the shop where you purchased your SIM or online through your operator's website. Check the details of the FRC before paying attention to the validity, etc., and included data and talktime. Select the plan that best suits your usage.

The first step is to get your first recharge done. When the first recharge is done, your SIM gets activated. Following this, your number will be active and you can enjoy all the mobile services. It is a good idea to keep a hold of your FRC details for reference in the future - especially if you wish to check your plan benefits again. Completing this step provides a smooth launch to your new prepaid connection.
