Airtel Latest Rumor
Airtel Latest Rumor
Airtel has said that news of the purported Rs 150 booster pack for 28GB, which would be offered to post-paid users, is completely incorrect. The company says that such news is not accurate and that such reports should not be written because they create confusion for consumers. Although before publishing the story India Today Tech had reached out to Airtel and had not received any denial at that time.
We await more details from the company on this topic and will update again when we get them. In the meantime, it is possible that Telecom Talk, which first wrote about this alleged new offer, may have got it wrong and that Airtel has no plan for something like Rs 150 booster pack for 28GB. For now it seems that such an offer is too good to be true. Or may be we will have to wait until March 13 to really know what is this "surprise offer" for post-paid users that Airtel is talking about.
Here is what we wrote earlier, before Airtel denied existence of any upcoming Rs 150 booster pack for 28GB data.
The price war in India's telecom industry after Jio's entry shows no sign of abetting. Airtel, which is the biggest telecom company in India, and is the strongest competitor for Jio, is now planning to come with an offer that its postpaid users will not be able to refuse. According to reports, the company is planning to introduce a data booster pack of Rs 150 for its post-paid users that will give these users additional 28GB data per month.The new booster pack for post-paid users will be introduced on Holi that is March 13, reports TelecomTalk Info. Earlier Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal had said that the company will surprise its post-paid users with a new "surprise offer" that will be offered through the My Airtel app on March 13.
This Rs 345 recharge is supposed to give Airtel pre-paid consumers free unlimited domestic calls, free messages and 28GB data per month. This data can be used only with a limit of 1GB data per day and of that 1GB, 500MB data is only available between 3am and 5am.
The post-paid offer via Rs 150 booster pack will be reportedly offered with the same conditions. This means essentially, users will 14GB additional data, while those who don't mind staying between 3am and 5am will get additional 14GB data.
Unlike the pre-paid Rs 345 offer, which not many users have received, the Rs 150 offer will be reportedly available to all post paid users. At the same time, it is important to note that this is will be the booster pack. In other words, this means you won't be able to get it as a standalone pack. You will have to combine it with one of the other post-paid plans. The one obvious pairing will be Airtel's Infinity Plan for Rs 499, which gives users 3GB data along with free calls and messages. So in total, if you also get the booster pack, you will spend Rs 649 for 31GB data and free calls and free messages.
