Check out all you need to know about the new Airtel monthly prepaid plans below. (Express Photo)Telecom operator Airtel has silently added four new monthly prepaid plans for users to choose from. The new plans begin at Rs 109 per month and go up to Rs 131 per month. These new plans also come in addition to existing prepaid plans, and don’t replace any of them.
Here are all the details you need to know about these four new plans, spotted first by TelecomTalk, including data, calling benefits and validity.
Rs 109 plan
The Rs 109, the most affordable of the four, offers 200MB data, Rs 99 worth of talktime and a call plan that charges you 2.5 paise per second. The plan also sets SMS prices at Rs 1 per SMS (local) and Rs 1.5 per SMS (STD). The plan is valid for 30 days.
Rs 111 plan
The Rs 111 plan, that costs just Rs 2 more than the previous Rs 109 plan, offers the same benefits but slightly different validity. Users get a one month validity instead of 30 days (could be 28/29/30/31 days depending on the month). This lets users recharge on the same date each month.
