Airtel has introduced new data booster packs in India that will allow unlimited 5G access to users. These packs will enable users without existing 5G plans to access unlimited 5G connectivity. Additionally, these data packs will also allow users to access additional 4G data in addition to the unlimited 5G data provided by the carrier. Notably, Airtel recently increased prices for both postpaid and prepaid recharge plans, limiting unlimited 5G access to plans with a minimum of 2GB of daily data.
Airtel Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Launched in India
The telecom provider stated in a press release that customers on 1GB or 1.5GB daily data plans without 5G access will now be able to get 5G connectivity using new unlimited 5G booster packs, starting at Rs. 51.
Customers on Airtel plans without unlimited 5G connectivity can access 5G services with booster packs available in the country at prices of Rs. 51, Rs. 101, and Rs. 151.
The booster packs include an additional 4G data allowance of 3GB, 6GB, and 9GB. In addition to this, they provide access to unlimited 5G data. The validity of these booster packs is the same as the existing plan that the user is on at any given time.
How Airtel’s Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Work
If you are currently on a Rs. 929 plan that provides 1.5GB of 4G data per day for 90 days, with an expiration date of October 15, and you choose to activate the Rs. 101 unlimited 5G booster pack today, the unlimited 5G connectivity will also be active until October 15.
Even if you recharge with the booster pack in early October, it will still expire on October 15, aligning with the expiration date of your existing main prepaid plan. In addition to the 1.5GB 4G data and unlimited 5G data, you will also receive an extra 6GB of 4G data, also valid until the same date.
