You still need an Airtel sim card. A sim has an imsi number whose first five digits identify the operator on the global gsm addressing system. Your normal number is then paired with the card identity to complete the mobile identity.
A saf sim will not attach to the airtel network and vice versa. -it can if the two operators have an inter-roaming agreement, but they don't.
