Major telecom operator Bharti Airtel has made a significant reversal by bringing back its popular ₹299 prepaid plan for customers. Just three months ago, when telecom companies hiked their tariff rates across the board, Airtel had decided to withdraw this affordable offering. Now, the plan has made a welcome return to the market, bringing substantial relief to users who rely on budget-friendly daily-use packages.
Core benefits included in the plan
This ₹299 package serves as a complete daily-use utility bundle for subscribers, offering a total validity of 28 days. To facilitate seamless communication, the plan includes unlimited calling across any network. For internet users, it provides 1.5 GB of high-speed data every single day. Additionally, the recharge pack covers the daily requirement of sending up to 100 SMS messages without any extra hassle.
Additional perks and security features
Beyond standard data and calling features, Airtel is bundling several impressive extra benefits with this recharge. Customers who opt for this plan receive a 12-month subscription to Adobe Express Premium, valued at approximately ₹4,000, entirely free of charge. Furthermore, addressing the rising concerns surrounding online scams, the company is incorporating the robust Airtel Safe feature. This utility offers real-time spam call alerts, malicious fraud link blocking, and enhanced protection against bank frauds conducted via OTP.
Entertainment options and market demand
For music enthusiasts, the package includes a complimentary Hellotunes option, allowing users to set a fresh tune of their choice every 30 days. Ever since the tariff hike three months ago, customers had continuously demanded affordable options with 28-day validity. The abrupt withdrawal of the ₹299 plan had disappointed middle-class users who depend on a daily allowance of 1.5 GB data. Driven by heavy consumer demand and a strategy to retain subscribers within its network, Airtel executed this major turnaround, making the ₹299 option available once again.
