Bharti Airtel is offering free high-speed data to its post-paid subscribers for the next three months to counter Reliance Jio's aggressive offers. Airtel is offering up to 30 GB of free data for the next three months for post-paid subscribers who log in to the ‘My Airtel’ app by April 30. For those who have already availed themselves a similar offer by the company last month, 10 GB free data (one month validity) will be up for grabs, was said by a company person.
Refering an example Airtel said if a subscriber has not activated a pack before travelling abroad and in case if the daily usage exceeds Rs. 499, Airtel will automatically activate the Rs. 499 pack (which includes unlimited incoming calls, free data, SMS) at no added cost. In addition, Airtel has said that it will offer the value to customers who have not activated the right international roaming pack, before their travel abroad. Airtel said the move will protect consumers from bill shocks while travelling abroad.
Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal said in an email to subscribers, “Now enjoy some free data every month for the next three months” If the usage charges are less than Rs. 499, the users will only be charged on the rates that are applicable.
Previously in the last few months, Reliance Jio’s troblesome positioning in the networking market has forced the other operators like Airtel, Vodafone to respond with generous counter-offers to regain their customers.
