Airtel launches new prepaid plan for Rs 597 with 168 days validity

Bharti Airtel has launched a Rs 597 prepaid plan for 168 days. The new plan offer its users unlimited voice calls, SMS and data for the entire validity period.

In the plan, Airtel will provide unlimited national calling along with 100 SMS per day, giving a benefit of Rs 16,800 in total. The customers will also get 10 GB of data benefits within the period. This plan comes with a validity of 168 days.

The operator had previously rolled out an Rs. 995 recharge pack that offers unlimited voice calls,100 SMS messages per day, and 1GB 3G/ 4G data per month (total 6GB), with a validity of 180 days or around six months. While the Rs. 597 plan appears to be a better deal than Rs. 995 pack, the latter is currently applicable in most major telecom circles in India.

Meanwhile, Reliance Jio is also offering a long-validity plan for Rs 999 offering unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS per day and 60GB of 4G data for a period of 90 days.
