Airtel has announced a price hike for its minimum required recharge plan for prepaid users. Previously, users had to recharge with a Rs 99 plan that offered voice calls at 2.5 paise per second and 200MB data along with Rs 99 talktime. Now, however, the telecom player has mandated a minimum recharge of Rs 155 in two telecom circles – Haryana and Odisha.
The new minimum recharge plan is set to come to more circles eventually as per reports. This means that any monthly plans on Airtel could soon cost more than Rs 155. The Rs 155 plan comes with unlimited calling, 1GB of data and 300 SMS and is valid for 24 days.
The plans start at Rs 155 and go up all the way to Rs 599 per month, offering bundled subscriptions and more data among other benefits like cashback on FASTag recharge. In other circles where the new rule has not yet come into effect, users can still make use of the Rs 99 (28 days), Rs 109 (30 days) and Rs 111 (1 month) plans.
The telecom operator is discontinuing all the plans under Rs 155 in the two circles. Airtel used to offer a minimum recharge plan of Rs 99, with 200MB data and calls at the rate of Rs 2.5 paise per second for 28 days. But now it will no longer be available, instead Rs 155 will be the new minimum recharge plan.
