Telecom operator Bharti Airtel has announced a big relief to its selected customers by giving them extra validity, data and free calling. This relief is being given to Airtel customers after the natural disaster in Wayanad, Kerala. You must be aware that more than 150 people have lost their lives in the landslide that occurred after heavy rains in Wayanad, Kerala on Tuesday.
Thousands of people have been affected due to the devastating disaster in Wayanad and Airtel has decided to provide additional benefits to these disaster-affected customers without any recharge or charge. However, these benefits will be available only to Airtel users in Wayanad. The company has said that prepaid and postpaid customers will be given benefits like additional validity, data and calling even after the recharge is over.
Prepaid users are getting these benefits
Prepaid Airtel subscribers in Wayanad are being given additional validity after their recharge expires. This means that those who are unable to recharge due to being stranded in the disaster can now stay connected with others through calls and internet. Apart from the additional validity of three days, the company is offering 1GB mobile data per day, unlimited calling and 100 free SMS per day.
These benefits to postpaid users
The bill payment deadline for Wayanad customers using Airtel postpaid service has been extended by 30 days. This means they will be able to use their services for another month without paying. After this, they will get the option to pay two months together on the next deadline.
You may remember that last month Airtel made its recharge plans expensive. In such a situation, providing relief to users in case of disaster is a positive step and the company is doing this to help subscribers in difficult times.
