Airtel Unveils Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Starting at ₹51: Pricing and Validity Details

Airtel is addressing the 5G accessibility gap in India by launching new unlimited 5G data booster packs. This move aims to make 5G services available to users on lower-priced plans, which have been limited in the past due to recent price hikes that restricted 5G access to more expensive plans.

New Booster Pack Pricing and Benefits

The new booster packs are priced at Rs. 51, Rs. 101, and Rs. 151, and are designed for users subscribed to plans with 1GB or 1.5GB daily data allowances. These plans previously did not offer unlimited 5G access.

Airtel's 5G new offering enables users on these lower-tier plans to benefit from unlimited 5G connectivity through these affordable booster packs. According to Airtel's press release, "Customers who are on plans that do not support unlimited 5G connectivity will be able to access 5G services with these booster packs."

Addressing Recent Price Hikes

The introduction of these booster packs follows price hikes implemented by Airtel and other major telecom providers in India, which affected both prepaid and postpaid plans.

These increases limited unlimited 5G access to plans with a minimum of 2GB daily data, excluding budget-conscious users from accessing 5G services. By offering these new packs, Airtel is aiming to make 5G more accessible to a broader audience.

Additional Data and Validity

In addition to providing unlimited 5G data, the booster packs also offer extra 4G data. The Rs. 51 pack includes 3GB of extra 4G data, the Rs. 101 pack offers 6GB, and the Rs. 151 pack provides 9GB. The validity of these booster packs aligns with the user's existing plan, ensuring a seamless integration of additional data and 5G services.

Practical Example of Pack Usage

Airtel illustrated the practical use of these packs with an example: "For example, if you are on a Rs. 929 plan with 1.5GB 4G data per day for 90 days, expiring on October 15, opting for the Rs. 101 unlimited 5G booster pack will extend unlimited 5G connectivity until October 15." This example highlights how users can benefit from the booster packs without disrupting their current plan’s validity.

Conclusion

With these new unlimited 5G data booster packs, Airtel is making significant strides in increasing 5G accessibility in India. The initiative addresses the needs of users on lower-priced plans and offers a cost-effective solution for accessing unlimited 5G data while also providing additional 4G data benefits.
