99 airtel recharge

By India Today Tech: Telecom operators announced tariff hikes of their prepaid plans last month. With the increase in tariffs, these plans also reduced benefits that came with the entry-level plans. Vodafone Idea or Vi was initially not giving SMS benefits with its basic prepaid plans. The Telecom regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) then received complaints from rival telco Jio who noted that the absence of SMS benefits was making it difficult for users to port out following which the regulator passed a directive noting that users can port out to other telcos with any prepaid or postpaid plan. Airtel is now reportedly offering SMS benefits with its Rs 99 prepaid plan which is also the cheapest prepaid plan to offer bundled SMS benefits. According to Telecom Talk, the telco is giving 200 MB data, Rs 99 talktime, tariff calls at one paise per second, and SMS at Rs 1 for local SMS and Rs 1.5 per STD SMS. The plan has a validity of 28 days. Vodafone Idea or Vi is separately giving SMS benefits priced at Rs 42 and Rs 51. The Rs 42 plan is a sports pack and gives unlimited SMS score alerts for an ongoing cricket match. The Rs 51 plan also does not have outgoing SMS benefits and gives 1GB data and 28 days validity. Vodafone Idea has a prepaid plan priced at Rs 155 that is giving 300 SMS, 1GB data and unlimited calls along with 24 days valdity.

Airtel had revised its postpaid recharge plans for corporate and retail customers back in July. Airtel has spiked the base recharge plan from Rs 79 to Rs 99, but it doesn’t offer any SMS benefits. For SMS, users need to recharge with the Airtel Rs 179 plans (which earlier used to be Rs 149) plan. All in all, Airtel prepaid plans have seen up to a 25 percent price hike this time around. The popular Rs 598 plan which offers 1.5GB per day, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS per day with 84 days validity will now cost Rs 719. Airtel says the changes to its prepaid recharge plans are in line with its focus to offer better connectivity. Other telecom networks, Jio and Vi (Vodafone Idea) haven’t announced any price hike at the moment but we can expect an official confirmation from them in the next few days, if not even sooner. We can speculate Jio offerings will come with other additional benefits like more data or access to OTT platforms. This announcement from Airtel comes ...
