One recharge covers SIMs for both husband and wife: Airtel's family plan offers unlimited calls, data, and free OTT..
The impact of inflation is visible on recharge plans as well. Companies have either discontinued most affordable plans or raised their prices. For plans where prices haven't been hiked, benefits have often been reduced. However, amidst this, you also have the option to opt for a family plan. The key advantage of a family plan is that a single recharge covers SIM cards for the entire family. If you are an Airtel customer, here is an affordable family recharge plan that allows you to use additional SIM cards.
Airtel's entry-level family postpaid plan is priced at ₹699. It is worth noting that the company previously offered a ₹549 postpaid plan, but it was discontinued some time ago. Now, the ₹699 option is the primary choice for users. This single recharge covers SIM cards for both husband and wife. However, if you prefer an individual plan, you can opt for the ₹449 per month plan, though you would miss out on the benefits of a family plan. Let us walk you through the details of both plans.
Airtel's ₹449 Plan
Airtel's most basic personal plan is priced at ₹449 per month (plus 18% GST). This entry-level plan offers customers unlimited 4G and 5G data without any daily limits. It also includes unlimited local, STD, and national roaming calls to any network across the country. Additionally, the plan provides 100 free SMS per day and supports 'Fast Lane Technology' (5G Slicing) for high-speed internet. Customers receive free Google One (100GB cloud storage) for 6 months, Airtel Xstream Play Premium (access to over 22 OTT platforms) for 3 months, and Adobe Express Premium access for a full year. Additionally, the plan includes free Hello Tunes and the special 'Blue Ribbon Bags' service, which tracks luggage during air travel. To keep your phone secure, it incorporates advanced security features such as spam call protection, blocking of fake and fraudulent links, and OTP alerts.
Airtel Family Postpaid Plan
If you are looking for a budget-friendly plan for two family members, you can opt for the ₹699 per month (+ GST) plan. This works out to an expenditure of approximately ₹350 per user. This family plan offers a total of two SIM connections (one primary and one free add-on). Both members get unlimited high-speed 4G/5G data and unlimited local and roaming calling.
For entertainment, the plan includes a full 6-month Amazon Prime Mobile subscription and free access to JioHotstar Mobile for one year. It also provides free access to Google One (100GB storage) for 6 months, Airtel Xstream Play Premium for 3 months, and Adobe Express Premium for 12 months. Furthermore, it includes all the safety features and Hello Tunes benefits found in the individual plan.
Family Postpaid Plan Terms
Customers can add up to nine additional add-on connections to this family plan based on their requirements. For each new additional paid SIM, customers are required to pay an extra fee of ₹349 per month. Additionally, a data-only add-on SIM for internet-enabled gadgets (such as tablets or smartwatches) can be purchased for ₹149 per month. However, it will utilize the data quota of the primary parent plan.
