When Airtel introduced the Rs 169 plan, the company offered 500MB data per day for 28 days. But with recent Jio’s revision of the Rs 153 plan for JioPhone, Airtel has now revised the Rs 169 plan for its partnered 4G smartphones. Airtel is now offering 1GB data per day, unlimited voice calls for 28 days. But sadly, this plan doesn’t offer SMS benefits, as there’s no mentioning of the SMS benefit on the company’s website.

Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio recently revised the Rs 153 tariff plan for JioPhone users as it now offers 1.5GB 4G data per day for 28 days. It also provides unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day for the validity period.

As stated, this plan of Rs 169 is meant for Airtel partnered handsets under the Mera Pehla Smartphone initiative. For the unaware, to bring down the value of a 4G smartphone, Airtel has partnered with handset manufacturers such as Samsung, itel, Karbonn, Celkon, Intex, and Zen Mobiles.
