In a move to cater to the growing demand for international travel, Airtel, a leading Indian telecom provider, has announced a revamped international roaming offering. The new plans prioritize affordability and convenience, aiming to eliminate the hassle of managing multiple packs for various destinations.
One Pack for Global Connectivity
Airtel’s revamped international roaming packs address a key pain point for frequent travelers. Customers can now choose a single plan based on travel duration, offering seamless connectivity across 184 countries. This eliminates the need to subscribe to separate packs for different destinations, simplifying the pre-travel process.
The new packs start at a competitive price point of Rs. 133 ($1.60) per day (based on Rs. 3,999 plan), making them a potentially more affordable option compared to purchasing local SIM cards in certain countries. This can be particularly beneficial for short trips or for those who don’t anticipate high data usage.
According to the company’s official “Thanks App,” plans start at Rs. 649 ($7.78) for a single day of travel, offering 500MB data and 100 minutes of free outgoing and incoming calls. Higher tiers offer increased data allowances, voice call minutes, and even in-flight benefits.
Airtel’s new packs include additional features like in-flight connectivity, auto-activation on landing, and 24×7 contact center support for a smoother travel experience.
Airtel also introduces an optional auto-renewal feature for frequent travelers through the “thanks app.” This feature automatically renews the international roaming pack upon its expiry, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity during subsequent trips abroad.
Airtel’s Director of Customer Experience and Marketing, Amit Tripathi, highlighted the company’s commitment to solving customer problems and providing greater convenience. He stated that the new packs offer “greater value with enhanced benefits that are economical when compared to local in-country sims across many countries.”
