Bharti Airtel is giving its users 1GB of data for Rs 5 only. To make the deal sweeter, Bharti Airtel is also adding an over-the-top (OTT) benefit into the mix. Note that I am referring to a prepaid plan from the telco that offers 1GB of data for approximately Rs 5 and then also bundles an OTT benefit with the plan. Bharti Airtel competes heavily with Reliance Jio through its prepaid offerings. Airtel has a knack for offering little highly-priced plans than Jio to show its ‘premium’ status in the market. But 1GB of data for Rs 5 is not expensive at all if the customers can get a good network service from the company they are paying to.
Bharti Airtel Prepaid Plan That Offers 1GB of Data for Rs 5 Only
Bharti Airtel offers a Rs 448 prepaid plan to its users. The telco has launched this plan predominantly to offer the OTT benefit of Disney+ Hotstar VIP to its users. With the Rs 448 plan from Bharti Airtel, users get 3GB of daily data along with truly unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day.
Even though these benefits sound very good, the plan only comes with a validity of 28 days. This plan makes a lot of sense for someone who is already an Airtel customer and is going to purchase the Disney+ Hotstar VIP standalone subscription. Instead of purchasing the standalone subscription of the OTT platform, the user can purchase this plan instead.
