Airtel had been offering a free yearly subscription to Amazon Prime to select postpaid customers. This facility was being offered for postpaid plans of Rs 499 and above, but now the company has decided to extend this benefit to Rs 399 postpaid plans also. From now, all users who avail the Rs 399 postpaid plan will also get an annual Amazon Prime membership for free.
Apart from the free Amazon Prime membership, the Rs 399 plan also offers 40GB of data with roo-over facility and unlimited local, STD and roaming calls. Notably, Airtel has recently revised the Rs 399 postpaid plan to bring additional 20GB of data. The plan also provides 200GB of data rollover facility along with free Wynk Music access.
For availing this new offer, you can open the My Airtel app and click on the Airtel Thanks banner that will be available at the bottom. Upon clicking the banner, you will see the Amazon Prime subscription benefit. You can click on the Claim Now button to avail the benefit instantaneously.
This move by Airtel to provide Amazon Prime subscription benefits to the Rs 399 postpaid plan is probably to rival Vodafone. It may be recalled that Vodafone already provides a free annual membership to Amazon Prime for customers availing the Rs 399 postpaid plan from the company. Now, Airtel customers in the country using the Rs 399 plan will also get the same benefits as Vodafone users. Notably, the Amazon Prime benefit is available to all customers using the Rs 399 plan in all the circles in the country.
Meanwhile, Airtel has also introduced new combo recharge packs for prepaid customers in the Mumbai circle recently. These new combo recharge packs are priced from Rs 35 and go all the way up to Rs 245. These new packs have been rolled out to rival Reliance Jio that already has many economically priced plans offering both data and voice calling benefits.
