Airtel Rs 189 prepaid plan: Benefits

The Rs 189 plan includes unlimited voice calls across all networks, 1GB of mobile data, and 300 SMS for the entire 21-day validity period. It is useful for light users who primarily need calling services and send occasional messages, rather than for data-intensive tasks such as video streaming or app usage.

With this launch, Airtel seems to be focusing on customers in rural and semi-urban areas, as well as users with secondary SIM cards or those simply looking to keep their number active at minimal cost.

Although the Rs 189 pack caters to minimal users, Airtel also offers another Rs 199 prepaid plan with better value and longer validity.
