Bharti Airtel has made a major revision to its entry-level International Roaming (IR) pack for postpaid users. Airtel has removed a nearly priced old pack and launched a new plan with boosted data benefits, which can be used globally. The newly launched Airtel postpaid IR pack, Rs 648, which has a validity of one day, now includes unlimited data—of course with FUP—to ensure seamless travel across 189 countries. Check out the plan details and benefits in the story ahead.

Airtel Rs 648 Postpaid IR Pack
Airtel’s Rs 648 postpaid IR pack comes bundled with unlimited data—1GB high-speed data, post which unlimited data is throttled to a speed of 80 Kbps—100 minutes of outgoing and incoming calls (both local and to India), free incoming SMS, 10 outgoing SMS, and a pack validity of one day. International calls made while on international roaming are charged at Rs 45 per minute. Previously, the entry-level pack priced at Rs 649 offered only 500MB of data, so Airtel has now doubled the high-speed data allowance to 1GB while the unlimited FUP usage continues to be on offer in the newly launched pack.

International roaming pack benefits are activated only upon arrival in the roaming location. With a single plan covering travel to 189 countries, customers no longer need to worry about which pack to activate for a specific country or region. There is no need for multiple packs for different countries or transit airports.
