Bharti Airtel has launched two new prepaid plans of Rs 379 and Rs 279 in every telecom circle. While the Rs 379 prepaid recharge is to compete with the affordable 84-day validity plans from Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio, the Rs 279 recharge is a unique offering from Bharti Airtel. A few days ago, we reported the arrival of Rs 349 prepaid plan from Airtel with Amazon Prime membership on board. Now, the telco has introduced the Rs 279 plan with Rs 4 lakh life insurance cover. Before the tariff revision, Airtel used to offer life insurance cover benefit with two plans- Rs 249 and Rs 599, and the Amazon Prime membership used to ship with Rs 299 recharge. That said, the denominations are now different, but there is only a minor price difference. Notably, both the plans are already available for recharge across all the circles.

Airtel Rs 379 Prepaid Recharge: Benefits and Comparison With Jio, Vodafone Idea
Starting with the Rs 379 prepaid recharge, it is the company’s affordable prepaid plan with 84 days validity on board. The plan ships with 6GB of 4G/3G/2G data, 900 SMSes and truly unlimited voice calling without any FUP limit. The validity of this plan is 84 days from the date of recharge. Other benefits of the recharge include free four-week course on Shaw Academy, Wynk Music & Airtel Xstream App Premium subscription, and Rs 100 cashback on FASTag.
As for the comparison, Vodafone Idea has a similarly priced prepaid plan of Rs 379 that also comes with 6GB data, unlimited voice calling, but the SMS benefit is 1000, unlike 900 on Airtel network. In the case of Reliance Jio, the plan costs Rs 329 only and the benefits include the same 6GB of 4G data, unlimited Jio-to-Jio voice calling, 1000 SMSes and non-Jio FUP minutes of 3,000.
