Airtel Revamps International Roaming Pack Offering, Making It Truly Unified

Let’s take Airtel’s entry-level prepaid IR pack with 1-day validity to illustrate the difference in benefits between the old and new offering models.

Airtel Rs 649 IR Pack: Old Model

The Airtel Rs 649 pack (previous pack) used to offer 500MB of data, 100 minutes of free local outgoing calls, incoming calls, calls to India, and 10 SMS benefits for the Set 1 list of countries. For the Set 2 list of countries, it offered 250MB of data, 50 minutes of free local outgoing calls, incoming calls, calls to India, and 10 SMS benefits, all with 1-day validity.

Airtel Rs 648 IR Pack: New Model

Airtel’s entry-level prepaid IR pack, priced at Rs 648, now offers 500MB of data, 100 minutes of free local outgoing calls, incoming calls, calls to India, and 10 free SMSs with one-day validity, applicable across 184 countries. This means you can take the pack and be covered globally, anywhere under the same pricing and with the same benefits. This is truly unified and global.

What Has Changed?

Earlier, Set 1 consisted of 119 countries, and Set 2 consisted of 65 countries. Now, every IR pack, whether prepaid or postpaid, is valid across all 180+ countries. This means that if you are travelling to multiple countries, the same benefit offered by the pack will work across the covered countries according to the active IR pack.
