Bharti Airtel silently launches Rs 119 prepaid plan, offers unlimited calling, 2GB data, and more

Bharti Airtel is making its biggest move yet to increase average revenue per user as the competition becomes really tough. The company has silently increased the price of its Rs 99 prepaid plan to Rs 119. Previously, Airtel offered 2GB of data along with unlimited voice calling to its users for Rs 99 and now it is no more offering those same benefits.

The same benefits have been moved to Rs 119 prepaid plan and Airtel has essentially increased the price of the plan by Rs 20. Like many other plans from the company, this new Rs 119 prepaid plan is also a segmented offer and the benefits vary with every user. For instance, the company will offer the best benefit to those who use their Airtel SIM as a secondary connection or a temporary one.

What happens to Rs 99 Prepaid Plan?
