Indian Prepaid Recharge Plans Operators and Circles
TelecomEvery value the operator and circle parameters accept. Matching ignores case, spaces and punctuation, so Airtel, Tamil Nadu, UP (East) and J&K all work as written. Anything else is rejected with INVALID_INPUT before the call is charged. If the customer does not know their operator or circle, look both up from the mobile number with the Operator and Circle Check API first.
Operators
| Value to send | Operator | Also accepted |

jio | Jio | reliance_jio |
vi | Vi (Vodafone Idea) | vodafone, idea, vodafone_idea |
bsnl | BSNL | bsnl_topup, bsnl_special |
MTNL and other operators are not covered.
Circles
Plans are sold per telecom circle, not per state. A state that shares a circle is accepted by name and answered with that circle's plans, and the circle field in the response always carries the circle it resolved to: send goa and it comes back as maharashtra.
