Bharti Airtel has made a move to counter Reliance Jio 4G services. The company launched a special data pack that offers 30 GB for 90 days for Rs. 1495 for existing customers and new users can avail this offer for Rs. 1494 to bring down the cost per GB below Rs. 50, the price which Jio advertised at the launch. Speed will be reduced to 2G after crossing 30 GB.

Commenting on the newly launched offers, Ajai Puri, Director – Operations (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel said, “At Airtel, we are focused on providing great value to customers. Customers with 4G handsets generally consume large amounts of data and this proposition is specifically aimed at them. With this pack these customers can stay online round the clock without having to worry about exhausting their data limits or going for frequent recharges.”

With this pack these customers can stay online round the clock without having to worry about exhausting their data limits or going for frequent recharges, the company added.

The pack is currently live in Delhi and will be rolled out in other circles in coming days. As Jio is offering free unlimited services including voice calls, 4G data and SMS for 90 days with a free SIM card. The telcos have to reduce data rates by 67% because of the competition.

This new data pack is rolled out to retain the current customer base, as many of the customers requested to port out to Jio for unlimited offers. You can visit Airtel official website to avail active offers available.
