Airtel has launched new data booster packs in India, enabling users to access unlimited 5G connectivity. These packs are designed for users who do not have existing 5G plans, allowing them to enjoy unlimited 5G data. Additionally, these packs provide extra 4G data alongside the unlimited 5G data offered by the carrier. Recently, Airtel and other network providers in the country increased prices for postpaid and prepaid recharge plans. Due to these hikes, unlimited 5G access was restricted to plans with a minimum of 2GB of daily data.
Airtel Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Launched
Airtel confirmed through a press note that users on plans with 1GB or 1.5GB daily data allowances, who currently lack 5G connectivity, can now access unlimited 5G data with the new booster packs, starting at Rs. 51.
According to Airtel, customers on plans that do not support unlimited 5G connectivity can now access 5G services with these booster packs. The booster packs are available at Rs. 51, Rs. 101, and Rs. 151. These packs also offer additional 4G data of 3GB, 6GB, and 9GB, respectively. The validity of these booster packs matches the validity of the user’s existing plan.
How Airtel’s Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Work
For example, if you are on a Rs. 929 plan that provides 1.5GB of 4G data per day for 90 days, expiring on October 15, and you opt for the Rs. 101 unlimited 5G booster pack today, the unlimited 5G connectivity will last until October 15.
Even if you recharge with the booster pack in early October, it will still expire on October 15, along with your existing prepaid plan. In this case, you will get 1.5GB of 4G data per day, unlimited 5G data, and an additional 6GB of 4G data, all valid until the same date.
Additional Context
Airtel recently increased the prices of its prepaid and postpaid plans by up to 20 percent. This move limited unlimited 5G access to only those plans with a minimum of 2GB daily data.
The introduction of these booster packs offers a way for users to access unlimited 5G data without having to upgrade to more expensive plans. This initiative could be seen as Airtel’s response to increasing competition and the demand for more flexible data options.
