News India Live, Digital Desk: If, like me, you are a user who used to resort to ‘cheap data packs’ every now and then after getting monthly recharge done, then there is a very bad news for you. Airtel, which we love for its network, has given a big shock to us customers.
Often when our 1.5GB or 2GB daily data was exhausted, or we needed some extra data for the whole month, our fingers automatically ₹121 or ₹181 She used to go for recharge. These plans were our ‘budget savers’. But now the company has canceled both these plans.
Yes, Airtel has removed the popular prepaid data packs of ₹121 and ₹181 from its list. Discontinue Is done. Let us understand in simple language what effect this is going to have on your pocket.
Why were these plans so special?
- ₹121 pack: This plan was best for those who wanted extra data at a low price. In this 6GB data Was available. Its biggest feature was that its validity ran with your existing plan (Active Validity). That means the data remained safe for a month.
- ₹181 pack: It was a perfect combo of ‘Data + Entertainment’. In this 15GB data with 30 days validity Was available. Also, there was free subscription to Airtel Xstream Play, through which you could watch more than 22 OTT platforms.
Now you will not see both these plans on the website or app.
What’s left cheap now? (screw stuck here)
The company has adopted the policy of ‘remove the old, bring in the new’, but the new ones will be a bit expensive.
- old ₹181 (15GB) Now you will get a new pack instead of ₹211 You may get to see around Rs. 500, or you may have to be content with plans with less data.
- Now if you want data then Airtel has it. ₹161 There is a plan in which 12GB data Available (30 days validity).
- Other than this ₹361 There is a big pack in which 50GB data is available.
Simple thing: pockets will be loose
In the telecom market, companies always try to increase their profits (ARPU). In simple words, they want you to spend Rs 10-20 more on recharge every month. By discontinuing these cheap plans, Airtel has also indirectly made its plans expensive. Now for 6GB data, you may have to go for a bigger pack at Rs 121 or compromise with fewer benefits.
