Airtel Free Data Roaming Services

No one expected this one was coming from the India’s largest telecom network and the primary reason for this huge decision by Airtel is due to the seemingly increasing craze for Reliance Jio and its roaming free services across the country. Reliance Jio’s Chairman, Mukesh Ambani announced that their service would cost the same wherever you go in India, and now Airtel is following the same suite.

Previously, Airtel used to offer free roaming on data, but there was a catch. If you have a data pack recharged with your number, there won’t be any roaming charges applicable. However, if you don’t have a data pack and surf the internet while on roaming, then you will be charged more than the standard data rates. Even if you are on a particular data pack, there’s a case of you being charged.

Even if you’re on a particular data pack, there’s a case of you being charged for data. For example, your Airtel network connected to Vodafone or any other operator in India while travelling and in this scenario, you will be charged from your main balance, irrespective of you being on a specific data pack.
