Bharti Airtel 248 Plan Offer: Telecom services provider Bharti Airtel has unveiled a new Rs 248 prepaid plan for first time and second-time recharge users. The new recharge plan, having similar features of the earlier Rs 229 prepaid plan of Airtel, offers 1.4GB daily data, unlimited voice calling, and 100 SMSes per day for a validity period of 28 days. The telco has also removed some of earlier FRC (First Recharge) plans including Rs 345 and Rs 559, while restricting itself to four FRC plans of Rs 76, Rs 178, Rs 248 and Rs 495, said a TelecomTalk report.

Since Airtel has eliminated Rs 345 and Rs 559 plans for the first time recharge users, other plans including Rs 76, Rs 178 and Rs 495 can still be opted by subscribers. 

Those who are interested in the Rs 76 plan, they will get Rs 26 talk time, 100MB of 2G/3G/4G data, and the voice calls charged at 60 paise per minute, said TelecomTalk, adding that the plan will have validity for 28 days.

Rs 178 prepaid recharge plan is also for first time buyers, offering unlimited local, STD and roaming outgoing call benefits, along with 100 SMS on a daily basis. The plan will reportedly extend 1GB of 3G/4G data for 28 days. 

Under Rs 495 prepaid plan, subscribers will get 1.4GB data on a regular basis, unlimited voice calls along with 100 SMS each day for a period of 84 days. 

Subscribers will be able to avail the benefits of these plans when recharged from the company’s official app/website or when they buy a new Airtel SIM card.

Notably, Reliance Jio is also extending benefits of 2GB of high-speed 4G daily internet data, unlimited local and national voice calls, 100 SMS per day for a validity period of 28 days to its subscribers under Rs 198 plan.
