With NMNP facility, customers can easily switch circles and networks while still retaining the same number and avoid roaming charges. Now that this facility is already made available to users, Airtel hiked it's postpaid roaming packs/plans.
Users have 1 roaming Top up pack - Rs75 and RTP/FR-RTP - two Rs99 plans with airtel postpaid segment as roaming benefit options to enroll earlier.
While there is a hike in the pricing, benefits remain almost the same as earlier plans. Airtel has intelligently tweaked the two 99Rs plans RTP and FR - RTP plans to align with TRAI mandate and also not to loose it's business interest providing customers with two roaming plans.

Previously these two plans are priced at Rs99 only and with the reduced roaming ceiling prices, hope these plans doesn't disappoint either. Useful for short term travelers on postpaid.
