Roam Globally Without Manual Network Selection

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.

Another benefit of Airtel’s IR offering is that customers do not need to manually select a network when landing abroad, as the international roaming packs are applicable across all operators in the covered countries.

Conclusion

Now, the entry-level IR packs for both prepaid and postpaid users start at Rs 648 with almost the same benefits, except that postpaid users can enjoy unlimited data at FUP speeds post high-speed data usage. The drawback is the extra GST charges on postpaid packs in the bill. While prepaid users pay the pricing inclusive of GST charges with the pack pricing, postpaid users will be paying more than prepaid users, where the benefits seem diminished when weighed against the GST charges in the final bill.

Not sure when telcos will start valuing postpaid users, who are committed to the operator, more than prepaid.
