Airtel Home Broadband Users Can Get 5GB Additional Data on Airtel Postpaid Connections

Airtel Home Broadband Users Can Get 5GB Additional Data on Airtel Postpaid Connections

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The offer is a part of Airtel’s myHome Rewards programme
  • It is eligible for a select number of broadband plans
  • Users can avail the offer through the myAirtel app

Airtel on Friday announced a provision of 5GB additional data for Airtel postpaid subscribers with Airtel home broadband connections. This data offer is a part of Airtel’s ‘myHome Rewards’ programme.

Eligible Airtel users can claim this data through the myAirtel app, by going into the myHome tab. The offer will be available for Airtel postpaid numbers that are linked to the Airtel home broadband account. Do note that only select home broadband connection plans will be eligible for this offer, subject to the telecom circle. Also, the 5GB data will not be part of the postpaid data rollover scheme. All terms and conditions can be found here.

On the other hand, Airtel home broadband users can avail 10GB additional data for every Airtel postpaid and Airtel digital TV connection linked to that particular home broadband connection – the company’s ongoing myHome Rewards programme.

In November this year, Airtel had expanded its data rollover facility to its broadband users. With data rollover, users can carry forward unused data on to the next billing cycle. Broadband subscribers have a data rollover limit of 1,000GB, while postpaid subscribers have a rollover limit of 200GB.

A data war is currently raging among the major telcos in the country. Ever since Reliance Jio jumped into the scene in 2016, established players like Airtel and Vodafone have been struggling to keep up with the cost-effective packages offered by the RIL-owned telecom operator. This new Airtel offer seems like yet another desperate attempt to lure back the postpaid subscriber base that has been, mostly, left out from a lot of the pricing benefits being offered to prepaid users.

Airtel Said to Be in Talks With Handset Companies for Rs. 2,500 4G Smartphone to Rival Jio Phone

Airtel Said to Be in Talks With Handset Companies for Rs. 2,500 4G Smartphone to Rival Jio Phone

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Airtel to bring a 4G smartphone for a price as low as Rs. 2,500-2,700
  • The new 4G smartphone will debut around Diwali
  • The planned 4G smartphone will sport a 4-inch display, VoLTE calling

India’s largest telecom operator, Bharti Airtel, is in talks with multiple handset makers to bring a 4G smartphone for a price as low as Rs. 2,500-2,700 to take on Reliance Jio.

While Mukesh Ambani-led Jio has announced plans to offer Internet-enabled feature phone for a refundable deposit of Rs. 1,500, Airtel is placing its bet on a full-fledged smartphone as it believes people would be ready to shell out a little more to get a loaded handset.

A source familiar with the development said the new 4G smartphone – that will debut around Diwali – will come bundled with Airtel’s 4G connection and “attractive” data and voice plan to woo mass market customers.

The planned dual-SIM 4G smartphone will sport a 4-inch display, front and rear cameras, VoLTE calling and a solid battery life. The Android handset will come with 1GB of RAM, said the source who wished not to be named. He, however, did not say when the phones would be available for booking.

Reliance Jio had, in July, announced that formal bookings for JioPhone would open on August 24, while the phone itself is expected to be available from September.

According to industry estimates, six million bookings have been recorded for JioPhone, that offers free voice calls and SMS for life. Unlimited data offering comes for Rs. 153 per month.

While the details such as the name of the handset makers that Airtel is negotiating with and the exact offers on anvil are still under the wraps, it is learnt that the Sunil Mittal company will co-promote the 4G smartphone with the manufacturers. Besides this, Airtel also plans to offer its retail distribution muscle to take the device to the masses.

“The company is talking to various handset manufacturers to bring a Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 2,700 Android-based 4G smartphone to the market around Diwali,” the source said.

Airtel declined to comment on a detailed email questionnaire sent by PTI. “As a policy, we do not comment on market speculation,” the Airtel spokesperson said.

The company’s strategy to counter Jio offering is based on its belief that the Indian telecom consumer is looking for a large screen smartphone experience at an affordable price.

Hence, Airtel’s new 4G smartphone bundled offering will target customers looking to upgrade from feature phones.

Reliance Jio, which started accepting pre-bookings on August 24, was forced to suspend the processafter a whopping over 6 million JioPhone units were pre-ordered in a matter of just three days.

The delivery of the JioPhone is expected to start during Navratri festival starting September 21, according to a channel partner of Reliance Retail.
