Airtel has introduced a new prepaid plan priced at Rs 1,849 that offers an impressive 365 days of validity along with unlimited calling benefits. This plan is designed to cater to users who prefer long-term recharge options without frequent top-ups.
Plan Details and Benefits
The Rs 1,849 plan provides unlimited local and STD calls to any network across India. Additionally, subscribers get 2GB of high-speed data per day, which totals 730GB over the entire validity period. Once the daily data limit is exhausted, data speed is reduced to 64 Kbps.
Other inclusions consist of 100 SMS per day, free access to Airtel Xstream app, and complimentary subscription to Airtel Thanks benefits, which include discounts on partner services. The plan also offers carry forward of unused data up to 200GB.
Comparison with Competitors
This new offering from Airtel competes directly with similar long-term plans from Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea. Jio's Rs 1,899 plan provides similar benefits with 365-day validity, unlimited calls, and 2GB daily data, while Vi's Rs 1,799 plan offers 365 days validity with 1.5GB daily data. Airtel's plan is priced slightly higher than Vi but matches Jio in daily data allowance.
Availability and How to Recharge
The plan is available for both new and existing Airtel prepaid users. Customers can recharge via the Airtel Thanks app, official website, or through authorized retail outlets. The plan is expected to appeal to users who want a hassle-free recharge for a full year.
With this launch, Airtel aims to strengthen its prepaid portfolio and retain customers by offering competitive long-term value. The plan is available across all circles in India.
