Airtel rolls out new plans to revolutionize International Roaming (IR) experience

Airtel's new Rs 4000 recharge plan offers NRIs 5GB data and 100 voice minutes for use abroad, along with 1.5GB daily data and unlimited calls in India, ensuring hassle-free connectivity across 189 countries with a one-year validity

Bharti Airtel has introduced new plans to enhance its international roaming (IR) portfolio, aiming to simplify and make it more affordable for customers. The highlight is India’s first unlimited IR plan, offering unlimited data across 189 countries.

Additionally, catering to the long-term NRI community, Airtel has launched a unique Rs 4000 recharge plan with a one-year validity. This plan includes 5GB of data and 100 voice minutes for use abroad. In India, customers can enjoy 1.5GB of daily data and unlimited calls with the same plan. Airtel’s new offerings ensure a hassle-free connectivity experience, allowing users to stay connected in 189 countries while retaining their number and avoiding separate recharges.

Siddharth Sharma, Director Marketing and CEO – Connected Homes, Bharti Airtel, said, “At Airtel, we are dedicated to simplifying our customers lives and delivering greater value and convenience to them. We have dramatically simplified our IR plans that will truly redefine our value proposition for customers and give them the freedom to use data and voice generously while roaming the world. We remain continuously committed to delivering solutions that meet our customers’ ever-evolving needs.”

Customers will continue to enjoy other IR benefits with these plans that include:

·       In-flight connectivity, auto activation of services upon landing overseas, 24x7 contact centre support.

·       One Plan for travel to 189 countries. No confusion over which zone or pack to select. No need for multiple packs across multiple countries or transit airports.

·       Auto renewal feature for frequent travelers. This will remove the need to buy the pack multiple times and will enable hassle free travel

·       Affordable packs. These will be more affordable than most in-country / local sims and will eliminate the hassle and expense of acquiring local SIM cards, providing globetrotters with a simplified solution to stay connected.

·       All control will rest in the customer’s hands. They will be able to manage their entire international roaming needs on the Airtel Thanks app with updates on usage, billing amount and addition of data or minutes as needed.
