Airtel Reportedly Removes Three Prepaid Plans
According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, Airtel has removed its INR 299, INR 579, and INR 619 prepaid recharge plans from the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand telecom circles. Following this, users in these regions will reportedly no longer be able to recharge with these plans.
Considering the operator’s previous changes, it is being speculated that these recharge plans could gradually be removed from other telecom circles as well. Airtel may reportedly restructure its prepaid portfolio around plans offering monthly, quarterly, and yearly validity periods.
In addition to this, another prepaid tariff hike of around 10 to 12 per cent is reportedly expected in the coming days. However, Airtel has not officially announced the nationwide discontinuation of these plans or confirmed an upcoming tariff revision.
At the moment, Airtel’s general prepaid voucher terms continue to mention the INR 299, INR 579, and INR 619 price points. Therefore, their removal appears to be limited to the Uttar Pradesh (West) and Uttarakhand circle for now.
More details could be revealed if Airtel extends these changes to additional telecom circles or officially announces its revised prepaid portfolio.
Stay tuned for more updates!
