Airtel launched an unlimited data pack
- The Rs 9 Airtel prepaid pack offers unlimited data.
- However, the catch here is that the validity of the pack is just 1 hour. This means you can use unlimited internet for 60 minutes without any interruptions.
- Do note that there is an FUP (fair usage policy) limit of 10GB after which, the speed will be reduced to 64kbps.
- The plan comes in handy especially when you need to download something important and you've already exhausted the daily data quota.
At the moment, customers need to recharge with Rs 129 plan to get over 10GB of data but this plan has the same validity as the existing pack, unlike the Rs 9 plan which is only valid for 1 hour.
