In a bid to meet the rising demand for international travel services, Airtel, a prominent telecom provider in India, has unveiled an overhauled international roaming package. The latest offerings emphasize cost-effectiveness and ease of use, with the goal of streamlining the process of managing various packs for different travel destinations.
Simplified Global Connectivity
Airtel's revamped international roaming packages target a significant concern for frequent travelers. Customers now have the option to select a single plan based on their travel duration, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity in 184 countries. This eliminates the necessity of subscribing to multiple packs for different destinations, streamlining the pre-travel arrangements.
The new packages kick off at an attractive price of Rs. 133 ($1.60) per day (based on the Rs. 3,999 plan), positioning them as a potentially more affordable alternative compared to purchasing local SIM cards in select countries. This can be especially advantageous for brief trips or individuals with moderate data usage expectations.
As per the company's official "Thanks App," plans commence at Rs. 649 ($7.78) for a day of travel, providing 500MB data and 100 minutes of free incoming and outgoing calls. Higher tiers come with expanded data quotas, voice call minutes, and even benefits for in-flight usage.
Enhanced Features for Seamless Travel
Airtel's fresh packages encompass additional perks such as in-flight connectivity, automatic activation upon landing, and round-the-clock support from their contact center, all aimed at enhancing the travel experience.
A new option introduced by Airtel is the auto-renewal feature, available for frequent travelers via the "Thanks App." This function automatically renews the international roaming package upon its expiration, guaranteeing uninterrupted connectivity during subsequent overseas trips.
Amit Tripathi, Airtel's Director of Customer Experience and Marketing, underscored the company's dedication to resolving customer issues and offering heightened convenience. He emphasized that the new packages provide "enhanced benefits at a cost-effective rate compared to local SIM cards in numerous countries."
