Airtel Launches Rs. 199 Prepaid Plan: Check What’s New

Key Highlights

  • Airtel has introduced a new Rs. 199 prepaid plans
  • Prepaid plans offer unlimited calls and capped data
  • This plan is valid for 30 days

A new prepaid plan from Airtel is now available for Rs. 199. The noteworthy part about the Rs. 199 plan is that it would be valid for an entire month, unlike other prepaid plans that only provide calling and data perks. This indicates that you receive benefits for 30 days rather than 28 or 24 days. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) directive that there be prices with validity according to a calendar month is complied with by Airtel’s new plan.

Airtel Rs. 199 Plan: What’s New?

TelecomTalk was the first to notice the Airtel Rs. 199 package which has a 30-day validity and 3GB of total data. Additionally, those who reload with this plan receive 300 SMS in total as well as unlimited calling, although customers will only be able to use up to 100 per day as per the government’s rules.

Airtel Thanks also offers free Hello Tunes and access to Wynk Music as additional package perks. Once users have used up their allotted 300 SMS, they will be charged Rs. 1 per SMS, and any more data consumption beyond the allotted 3GB would be charged at the rate of 50p per Mb.

Even if users repeat the same plan, they won’t be able to carry over unused SMS and data into the following month when recharging with this plan.

The plan is a wonderful option for people searching for a reasonably priced plan that provides unlimited calling and 30-day validity. While it doesn’t offer a lot of data, this plan is a great option for those who primarily use WiFi or simply don’t need additional mobile data. Add to these plans and if you need more data, simply add a Data Booster plan to get more data.
