Airtel recharge plan: Airtel has revised its Rs 199 prepaid plan and it is now offering you 1.5GB of daily data for 28 days. Previously, the same recharge plan was available with only 1GB daily data. The revised plan even includes unlimited calling benefits, 100 SMS per day, free access to Hellotunes, Wynk Music, and Airtel Xstream app subscription that has more than 350 Live TV channels. The Airtel recharge plan comes with a validity period of 24 days. But, the pack is currently visible to only a few subscribers. The development was first reported by TelecomTalk.
It is worth noting that Airtel already offers a Rs 249 prepaid plan, which gives 1.5GB data per day for 28 days. This plan is available in all the telecom circles of Airtel. However, the revised Rs 199 recharge plan is currently only accessible in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka telecom circles. A lot of Airtel customers can still buy the old Rs 199 plan with 1GB of data. It is strange that Airtel is offering both Rs 249 and Rs 199 plan with the same benefits.
