The new long-term Airtel plan comes with a validity of 180 days and offers unlimited calls (Local, STD & National Roaming) and messages. Apart from unlimited calling, the prepaid plan comes bundled with 1GB of 3G/4G data per month, which also includes free 100 SMS per day.

The Airtel Rs 995 Long-Term Plan
The Rs 995/- plan offers free voice calls with no daily or weekly FUP, and the plan is applicable on all handsets. Initially, the plan will be valid for select customers in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh & Telangana, Delhi NCR and Karnataka circles.
The Rs 995/- long-term plan offers unlimited voice calling without much data benefits. This is a plan would be very desirable to users who do lots of voice calls. On the other hand, if you are looking for a similar long-term data plan, there is none available at this price. Airtel is offering only 6GB of high-speed data (1GB per month) for the validity period. But, you can add the Rs 193/- add-on plan to get 1GB data per day for the entire 180 days unlimited validity period.
Long-Term Data Plan Vs Long-Term Voice Plan
For a long-term daily data plan, Airtel’s Rs 999/- plan comes bundled with 60GB data along with unlimited calling (local, STD & National Roaming) and messages. The plan, however, comes with half the validity of 90 days only. The Rs 999/- recharge offers 60GB of 3G/4G internet data for a period of 90 days with no FUP for usage of data. On the other hand, you get the additional benefits of unlimited voice calling with local, STD and outgoing national roaming as well as 100 texts per day.
On the contrary, the Rs 995/- long-term plan offers free unlimited voice calling, free SMS and 6GB of high-speed data (1GB per month) for the validity period. But, you can get 1GB data per day for the entire 180 days unlimited validity period with the Rs 193/- add-on pack.
Both the long-term plans offer great benefits with a combination of voice calls and data. The newly-launched Rs 995/- plan will help Airtel to take on its competitor’s long-term plans.
Jio doesn’t have a 180-day-long prepaid plan available at this price. It’s only 180-day validity plan costs Rs 1999/-.
