Lately, the company introduced the Rs. 499 prepaid plan offering 2GB of data per day for 82 days along with unlimited voice calls without any daily or weekly limit and 100 SMS per day.

The Rs. 349 plan from Airtel was initially offering 2.5GB of data per day. The other benefits such as 100 SMS per day and unlimited voice calls remain the same as the revised plan.

Eventually, the Rs. 249 and Rs. 349 prepaid plans from Airtel offer 56GB and 84GB of data respectively on the whole for a period of 28 days. The Airtel prepaid users can check the official website or the MyAirtel app in order to know if their number is eligible for the plan.
