Airtel’s New Rs 249 Plan Gives 56GB Data; Amazon’s Echo Speakers Get Discounts!
The new Rs 249/- plan will go against Jio’s Rs 198/- plan, which gives a total benefit of 56GB data.
Soon after launching a special IPL plan, Airtel is again back with a new plan which offers 2GB data per day. Bharti Airtel is about to report its first loss in fifteen years. But the company is taking the competition from Jio very seriously lately.
In the last one year, the company has introduced several low-cost tariff plans and have revised the old ones to offer more data with additional benefits. After launching the special Rs 499/- plan, the company has now added another 2GB data per day prepaid plan at Rs 249/-.
Airtel also revised its existing Rs 349/- plan, which now offers more data per day with other benefits.
