To beat Jio, Airtel Rs. 399 plan's validity has been increased from 28 days to 70 days

Highlights

The pack offers 1GB data per day with 70-day validity
It also offers unlimited voice calls and 100 SMSes per day
The Rs. 399 pack takes on Jio’s Rs. 398 pack

Airtel is refreshing its Rs. 399 prepaid pack to offer similar benefits as those available on Jio's Rs. 398 pack. Under the new Rs. 399 pack, Airtel is offering 1GB 3G/ 4G data per day, unlimited voice calls - local, STD, and roaming, and 100 SMSes per day for all handsets. The validity of the pack is 70 days. In contrast, Reliance Jio's Rs. 398 pack offers benefits such as 1.5GB high speed 4G data per day (post which unlimited access is at 64Kbps), truly unlimited voice calls on all networks in India, 100 SMSes per day, and complimentary subscription to Jio apps. The validity of this pack is 70 days.

The Airtel Rs. 399 prepaid pack previously offered 1GB 3G/ 4G data per day (alongside all the other benefits) for a validity of 28 days. It has now taken the place of the more expensive Rs. 448 pack that offers a validity of 82 days, instead of the older 70 days. There is also a Rs. 509 pack that was recently refreshed to offer a 91-day validity with the same benefits.

In the past, Airtel has launched competitive offers to take on Jio's continuing onslaught on tariff rates in India's telecom scene. Airtel had announced a Rs. 199 prepaid pack to compete with Jio's pack priced at the same rate. Both packs offer unlimited calls and 100 SMSes per day, although Jio's 199 pack provides 1.2GB 4G data per day while the Airtel pack providers 1GB 3G/ 4G data per day.

Additionally, Airtel has also released a Rs. 93 pack that offers unlimited voice calls to all networks, 100 SMSes per day, and a total of 1GB 3G/ 4G data with a validity of 10 days. This takes on Jio's Rs. 98 pack that has same benefits, albeit with a limit of 140 SMSes and an extended validity of 14 days.
