Airtel has announced two new unlimited data plans for its users offering high-speed 4G data up to 3GB per day. The new unlimited data offerings are the latest in the price wars between Reliance Jio and the incumbent telecom operators like Airtel, leading to competitive offerings and price reductions for customers.
Earlier, Reliance Jio had announced that it was increasing data allowances in all of its plans by 500MB without any increase in prices. The telco later announced discounts of up to Rs 50 across all of its plans, and then followed it up with new 3GB data per day offerings.
