Airtel Rs 648 Prepaid IR Pack
The Airtel Rs 648 prepaid IR pack now comes bundled with 1GB of high-speed data, 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 pack offered only 500MB of data, so Airtel has now doubled the data allowance to 1GB.

Airtel IR pack users can also top up their data with a Rs 699 data add-on IR pack, which offers 2GB of data and is valid for the same duration as the base IR pack.

Roam Globally Without Manual Network Selection
With a single plan covering travel to 189 countries, customers no longer need to worry about which pack to recharge 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.
