Airtel's new international roaming packs offers free incoming calls
Apart from this, it will also offer free texts to India and ample data benefits along with free India calling minutes across all popular destinations.
Bharti Airtel on Wednesday announced that they are offering free incoming calls on international roaming packs. Apart from this, it will also offer free texts to India and ample data benefits along with free India calling minutes across all popular destinations.
The packs will be available to both postpaid and prepaid customers.
“Charges for calls to India and local in-country calls have been reduced to as low as Rs 3 per min across popular destinations,” said the company in a release.
Airtel also announced that post the exhaustion of pack data benefits, international roaming data will now be charged at just Rs 3 per MB, a reduction of 99% from Rs 650 per MB.
The international roaming packs, which are available for all popular global destinations, come with validity of one day and 30 days, said the company.
The one day pack is designed for short international trips and for approximately $10 customers can stay connected through their travel. While the 30 days pack offers connectivity through long duration trips for approximately $75 and comes with data and India calling benefits.
With the holiday season around the corner, Airtel plans to launch a $45 medium duration pack with 10 days validity by middle of October 2016.
