Airtime is how many inclusive minutes you have per month to make calls i.e 100 mins = 1hr and 40 mins of calls.
Hope this helps

Airtime doesn't just mean inclusive minutes. It also means how much cost of calls you are allowed to make, before you top-up.

Suppose you have virgin SIM with £5 airtime, you can make calls for the sum (or value) off £5 which can be virgin mobile @10p/min, other network mobiles @35p/min or even texts starting @3p/text, etc.,

Basically airtime is another name for "credit"..
