Airtel is now offering 1.5GB per day under Rs 349 plan to counter RJio

In a bid to take on Reliance Jio, Airtel has come up with some special offers on its prepaid plans. The company has launched a Rs 448 plan that offers a total of 70GB bundled data and free outgoing roaming calls. The new plan is available only for prepaid users and has a validity of 70 days.

The new plan from Airtel will take on Jio's Rs 399 and Rs 459 plans. The Rs 399 plan offers the same benefits along with access to Jio apps for 70 days while the Rs 459 plan is available for 84 days. On the other hand, Airtel has an existing Rs 349 plan. Earlier, the telecom operator was giving 1GB data per day along with unlimited free calls under this plan (calls are capped at 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes per week). But, it has recently upgraded the plan, offering 1.5GB data per day unlike before. However, the validity remains the same that is 28 days.

Airtel is also offering its prepaid users an offer to avail 100 percent cash back on purchasing its Rs 349 recharge pack. However, this offer is exclusive to purchases made using Airtel Payments Bank in a bid to encourage more users to use its Payments Bank service.

Also, Airtel has launched another plan for its users. Priced at Rs 3,999 the plan is aimed at users with higher data consumption. The new plan will offer users 300GB of 4G data, unlimited calls, and 100 SMS per day, and comes with the validity of 360 days. There is no daily limit on the usage of data so you can either consume 360GB in just one day or use it across 360 days.
