Airtel has introduced new data booster packs in India. These packs offer unlimited 5G access to users. They provide unlimited 5G connectivity to users without existing 5G plans. These data packs also provide users with access to additional 4G data on top of the unlimited 5G data provided by the carrier. Airtel, like rival network operators in the country, had recently increased the prices of its postpaid and prepaid recharge plans. With these hikes, unlimited 5G access was restricted to plans with a minimum of 2GB of daily data.
Airtel Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Launched in India
The telecom provider confirmed in a press release that users on 1GB or 1.5GB daily data plans, who do not have access to 5G connectivity, can now get access using the new unlimited 5G booster packs. The prices start at Rs 51.
According to Airtel, customers on plans that do not support unlimited 5G connectivity can access 5G services with these booster packs. They are available in the country at prices of Rs. 51, Rs. 101 and Rs. 151.
These also come with additional 4G data allowance of 3GB, 6GB, and 9GB respectively, besides offering access to unlimited 5G data. The validity of these booster packs, like other add-on plans, is the same as the existing plan that the user has at a given point of time.
How Airtel Unlimited 5G Data Booster Packs Work
For example, let’s say you have a Rs. 929 plan that gives you 1.5GB of 4G data per day for 90 days and your subscription is set to expire on October 15. If you opt for the Rs. 101 unlimited 5G booster pack today, the support for unlimited 5G connectivity will continue till October 15.
Even if you top up with the booster pack in early October, it will still expire on October 15, with your existing main prepaid plan. In this case, in addition to the 1.5GB of 4G data per day and unlimited 5G data, you will also get 6GB of 4G data, which is also valid until the same date.
