Jio war: Airtel rolls out unlimited calls, 84GB 4G data at Rs 399



India’s largest telecom network Airtel has rolled out a plan to counter Jio’s cheap data and calling plans. The company has a Rs 399 plan that offers free unlimited local and STD calls and 84GB 4G data for 84 days. There’s an FUP limit of 1GB 4G data for a day. Please note that this is not a new plan but some users have discovered it recently.

The plans aims to take on Jio’s Rs 399 plan which also offers 1GB of 4G data for 84 days. The subscribers also get unlimited VoLTE local and STD calls to all operators, unlimited SMS and access to Jio apps.

Vodafone which is the second largest telecom operator in India is also part of this 84 days’ plan bandwagon. The company offers 1GB of high-speed 4G data per day along with free roaming and unlimited calls for 84 days at Rs 352.



Meanwhile, the state-owned BSNL has also rolled out a new Rs 298 plan for its users. The company is offering  unlimited voice calls to any network in India along with unlimited data for 56 days under the plan.  There is an FUP limit of 1GB daily post which the internet speed would be reduced to 80kbps. Please note that it is a one-time recharge offer which means that the plan is available only on first recharge. The plan was made available on August 7 and can be availed only till November 4 of this year.

Airtel is at war with Jio but not just for data and free calls. The company is also planning to launch a Rs 2500 mobile to compete against JioPhone.  It is expected that the company could bring the phone during Diwali. An ET report states that the phone would come bundled with data and voice calling features. Reportedly, the company is even in talks with Lava and Karbonn for the phone’s manufacture.

    • Sir – absurd. From the day I got my 3G SIM converted to 4G & got this Rs 399 recharge I lost complete connectivity. Only early morning it will work or sometimes midnight. I’m totally unaware whom to complain to. Local centres do not respond. If some responsible officials read this & help me out. Else I want to surrender Airtel & opt Jio which is very effective

    • At present I am using idea network with monthly billing. I would like to move to Airtel (if possible) prepaid option. Is this possible?

  10. HI JIO, SIR MORNING .

    NICE TO SEE IN INDIAN CATCHING THE JIO CELL PHONES BUT LOW NETWORK TOWERS ARE LESS THE CELL, MOBLIES AND BREAKING THE VIOCE WHILE TALKING IN HOUSE, PLS CONFORM TO PEOPLE WHO USERS JIO NETWORK. BUT, SUPER ALL CLOSE ALL MOUTHS JIO CAME IN MARKET TAKE A ACTION DEVELOPED THE NETWORK. THAT S ALL JIO ALL TOGETHER GREAT.

    THANK YOU SIR MUKESH A.

  14. wonderful tariff war , BSNL also should come to the same like Rs.399/- plan to get benefits of most of old/long time customers of India.

    Tough tariff war should continue….

  15. Dear sir ,
    I am interested in this offer , currently i am using idea .can i get this offer if i will port my no to your network.

  16. Would like to know after the take over of TataTele by Airtel,will you accept the PP subscriptions for the exisiting customers there in your payment counters.

  22. Seems to be a good plan… I looked for the plan in Airtel Apps in best plan and special plan..I couldn’t find it. The same plan for 28 days only available…not for 84 days

  24. Good tarif war , reminds me of those days of Ambassador cars nd Fiat Padmini( u have to book nd wait for 2 years to get a sub standard product ) competition is good for the customer. Let us see who will be the last man Standinv

  25. U cannot contact customer care in airtel prepaid if u like 2 share a problem with dem which is highly paid service than other networks. Worst service by Airtel.Dont go for it.

  27. I want this plan on my existing airtel no 9896147514, please contact me to get this plan. Hope it can be used in roaming too
    Thanks n Rgds

  33. This is completely fake and cheat.. I’m using airtel only but I didn’t get this offer. This offer is applicable only for few customers. And I’m wondering why the hell they announce these kind of offers publicly. Very disappointed with this network.

  37. I purchased this package for Rs.399 and was given only for 70 days validity.Several attempts to get it corrected, Air tel did not reply at all. I have been at loss on various other schemes by them. Wonder why people are willing to be cheated by Air tel?

  39. it’s a good plan….but I could n’t find this in airtel apps…..this 399 plan is available there having validity only for 28 days not for 84 days..so can u pls mention from where we can get this plan..

  42. If airtel copied the same plan with Rs.399/-recharge itself like Jio4G what is the use?
    Either recharge price must be lower or other offers like free sms/calls,1GB per day × 28 days per monthx3months etc.,

  43. Dear Sir,,,

    We are requesting to airtel operator staff and maintenance department please arrange national roaming incoming and outgoing calls totally free.

    we are very appreciate your swift actions taken in this regards.

    Thanks & Regards.
    Syed Mansoor Pasha.

  44. Ariel 399 plan seems to be competitive and beneficial offer. I am using prepaid Idea network. Can I port my no. to Ariel to avail the plan? Please confirm the process

  46. Airtel 84GB, unlimited calls for 84 days is good offer but once 1GB is used in a day there will be no internet till midnight even at slow speed.

  53. I looked for the plan in Airtel Apps in best plan and special plan..I couldn’t find it. The same plan for 28 days only available…not for 84 days

  54. I am an existing Airtel 4G customer, My opinion is, the existing Airtel ser itself facing problem on the internet connection, which is not able to provide the solution by Airtel on poor internet connectivity. How the new plan will do ?
    First i suggest to solve the 4G internet connectivity issue…

  56. I am dolphin user now, want to switch over to better plan with less use of calls & data as well, is there in plan with Airtel which can bill upto Rs.200/- to Rs.250/- pm in all?

  61. The plans is just for few random airtel customers… and can be only activated from airtel store. They cheat you so badly to not opt for the offer. Please don’t believe them.. and opt for jio or any other alternative

  62. I joined in one such scheme some time back. my mobile no is 9841228795. Will I get a reminder intimation a week before the end of the tenure of free calls so that i can take up any other better scheme in the offer at that time? I have not noted the date from which my present offer i am availing had started and till what date it lasts!!Please arrange to send advice to my mobile thro’ SMS and also to my aboue mail ID. Thanks P.srinivasulu

  64. This is all gimmicks as for the last six months I have been trying to recharge with the above offer of 399 for 84 days but the dealer says it can be done only if the offer is sent to your phone and my number 9840113490. There is no such restrictions on Jio Phone at least. Bogus and sham offer

  72. What is mentioned on website regarding airtel plan not available in my offer plan… It’s all making fool to us… Jio is a good. Way airtel must think and it should give best tariff to all old and new customers…

  74. I looked for the plan in Airtel Apps in best plan and special plan..I couldn’t find it. The same plan for 28 days only available…not for 84 days. I will switch over to jio, because there is no such restrictions in their plans.

  76. Airtel has suffered a huge loss due to Jio but launching such scheme can certainly add new customers to the chain.

    I m interested in Airtel Broadband also but No response from the company.

    There shouldn’t be monopoly of single company but better options should always be available before the customers to choose.

  77. Airtel has suffered a huge loss due to Jio but launching such scheme can certainly add new customers to the chain.

    I m interested in Airtel Broadband also but No response from the company

  87. I could not see this air tel offer at my mobile numbers viz 7044699334, 9635979057 that shows the validity for 28days instead of 84days.Please include this offer in the mobile and other recharging tools like paytm, pay zapp etc in order to be believed by the consumer.Thanks for providing information through mail.

  89. I recently,i.e. On 16/10/17 recharged with the best offers mentioned by Airtel with Rs399/ plan lasting for 70 days.Now with the latest offer of Rs399/ plan,can I switch to the new one from the existing one as the cost of the plan is same.

  90. I use 4g hand set and always use airtel net work but in my sim this 399 and 84 gb 84 days offer not display or sms ..if u send me 84 dsys 399 offer in my sim then i recharge it other wise may go to jio 399

  92. Airtel never gives you 84days offer. They just show in advertisement. Even m planning MNP to Jio. I don’t know why they make fools to their customer.

  98. AIRTEL CUSTOMER SERVICE , AIRTEL CALL CENTER , AIRTEL APP, AIRTEL WEBSITE — NONE OF THESE HAVE ANY PLAN OF 399 WITH 84 GB .
    KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK (hello@mailerassist.com) WITH PHONE NO.08010488888 HAS GIVEN THIS E MAIL WITH FALSE INFORMATION. THEY MUST COME FORWARD WITH A FAIR REPLY.

  99. I am an existing Airtel 4G customer, My opinion is, the existing Airtel ser itself facing problem on the internet connection, which is not able to provide the solution by Airtel on poor internet connectivity. How the new plan will do ?
    First i suggest to solve the 4G internet connectivity issue…

  100. Would be interested for it pls make a call to me n let me know futher details for the same or mail me. My no. Is 9821695173

  103. Using Airtel broadband from last 10years wifi connectivity has gone down even the speed of downloading is not what they mention

  105. I m from J&K. I just wanna say Airtel is making people fool. Looting peoples money by giving 2g like internet in the name of 4g plans. Don’t know about other states but here in jammu Jio LTE is far far better. Thank u Jio….

  107. Hi Airtel is making peoples fool now they don’t have a better network at all , before they was no. 1 network. My suggestions to Airtel if they read these comments please don’t waste your money on advertisements it’s better to spend your funds in networking issue and more towers for better connectivity and networking, peoples wants to spend more money but for good network.

    • Airtel network is too poor now a days. Even in metro cities it’s too weak and we get 2G in the place of 4G in the heart of the metro cities like Bangalore

    • Airtel’s network is the poorest in the country. I am in Navi Mumbai, Vashi….there is no signal inside house and i had to go for a MTNL landline to overcome the airtel network issue.
      They must make the same better, no point in competing whn your core comeptency of procide a good network is weak.

  108. I am from Delhi, Last 3 or 4 months internet speed is very-very poor. So If Aitel company provides 84 GB but speed is very-very poor that means Airtel company making users foolish.

    Right now , I am using Airtel Data card.

    Thanks.

    • I fully agree with you Mr Chandrashekhar. The data us not available always and you are out of the state nothing is working. Then why this bullshit ?

  109. I AM AN AIR TEL CUSTOMER A/C NO.7031198727 WITH BROAD BAND CONNECTION ON LAND LINE NO.080-48514213. I AM ON PLAN 749. BUT SINCE MY USAGE IS VERY LESS, I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING TO BRING IT TO AROUND 400TO 500. I NOW SEE YOUR COMPETETION WITH JEO WHEREIN YOU HAVE BROUGHT PLAN 399 WITH ALL THE ADVANTAGES. KINDLY CHANGE MY B.B.PLAN TO YOUR NEW PLAN 399- WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT AND CONFIRM.
    H.S.KRISHNA MURTHY.

  110. I am using jio as well as Idea and found Jio the best one. Idea is not giving even the reduced speed services after FUP limit of 1GB daily.

  111. Airtel is becoming worse day by day I am facing connectivity problem since few months now & all my complaints to them has not fetch any result. Internet connectivity is worst

  112. airtel is making fool of all , at their official store i checked this plan but they denied having any such offer 399 plan for 84 days.they are giving 25gb data for 299/-.

  113. 28/10/17 .today I enquired with Airtel, Vodafone & Jio plans as I want to shift FM mtnl dolphin network. All these so called giant providers, are making foooool to subscribers as every stalls give different rates & plans. Either 84 days is reduced to 70 days or 84 days plan has increased the rate. No proper rply. Working staff is daily changed. No one gives any thing in writing abt their plans/ validity/rates/ etc. Vodafone has increased d rates. Jio ask for additional Rs.100/– for new plan which can b changed after 6 months. Everything is so confusing. Pl. Don’t rely on any of these co.s offer. Ask in written term.
    Only TRAI can impose strict & perfect rules. God knows !!!!

  114. THERE IS NO NETWORK. VERY POOR CONNECTION.WE ARE REPENTING THAT WE USED AIRTEL CONNECTION. NOT ENJOYING $ NOT A LITTLE BIT HAPPY ATALL.

  118. I purchased the plan some two months back, but only I got is 1GB for 28 days without any free call; same as 249 plan. When enquired at their store they expressed instance. So don’t be fooled by the cheater Airtel.

  119. Where was the plan before. after the plan of jio , airtel lunch such plan and every one knows airtel have get more money before can they return our such amount.

  120. I purchased the plan some two months back, but only I got is 1GB for 28 days without any free call; same as 249 plan. When enquired at their store they expressed ignorance. So don’t be fooled by the cheater Airtel.

  121. I am having,jio,airtel,bsnl prepaid connections,all 84 days,1gb data/day,free unlimited voice call but except jio others charge for sms,for example,airtel Rs.1.50 per sms.
    In the result only jio giving promised everything but none others.Govt of India’s Trai is dead body,khao aur khane do,just opposite PM call.

  122. I am using airtel prepaid.every 70 day I was recharged 399 for unlimited calls and 1gb/per day.now per day limit cals only.

    U r msg only unlimited calls/1 GB per day for rs.399..

    This msg cheating r not..worst service

  123. I HAVE COMPLAINTED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS FOR POOR SIGNAL IN MY HOME BUT THERE IS NO SERVICE , WHEN EVER THEY GOT NEW PLAN THEY CALL ME BUT MY COMPLAINT IS STILL PENDING 9815559025

  126. Airtel services have gone down the drain. In spite of repeated complaints about call drops, only false platitudes are offered by service personnel. In fact they too are helpless as they have to listen to hundreds of complaints. I know of case where airtel staff and senior personnel us JIO network while sitting in their offices.
    If they cannot run the basic facility of telephony properly, what can be expected from data services.
    IF ANYONE FROM AIRTEL IS READING THIS PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
    NO CALLS CAN BE MADE WITHOUT IT DROPPING AT LEAST TWICE. SO WE PAY 3 TIMES THE COST FOR A SINGLE CALL.
    VIV LA AIRTEL.

  127. Airtel is becoming worse day by day I am facing connectivity problem since few months now & all my complaints to them has not fetch any result. Internet connectivity is worst

  128. Airtel 399 plan420 fail in bogus my number 9929414848 refill 4 October 399but 24 October No INTERNET connection airtel company customer care is not responsible reply

  135. Airtel to much bad, Airtel is becoming worse day by day I am facing connectivity problem since few months now & all my 15 complaints to them has not fetch any result. Internet connectivity is worst, airtel is making fool of all , at their official store

  136. I am using the airtel 15 years starting the conectivity is very fast but mean while its going down. requst u dont loose the users and give fast service to users who belives ur network

  137. I am v much unsatisfied I have now 63 GB balance in my account because no network available so I am not used & so meany time complained no action. Now my plane is Rs.499/- scheme so I asked to change to Rs.399/- scheme, at least i can save Rs.100/- .

    My wife using Jio is good

  138. Airtel ‘s this offer is fooling people. I’m pune resident and opted for this offer, initially 15days they give me good speed with 4g,now mushkil se 30to 200mb is downloading in a day… Don’t go for this offer . I’m going to surrender my two as airtel connections….

  140. Hlo I am the user of Airtel for last 17 years but now it’s going bad day by day there response is also worst as there service I used the plan of 399 and after recharging my 4 g signal were lost I filled my complaint that I also don’t know how many times but didn’t got any response. Then now switched to another network.

    For Airtel
    If you don’t know how to handle customer don’t make then fool.

  142. I am an AIRTEL Customer for a long time. However, the service has deteriorated completely now. Only 2 days back, there was a full page Add in the Newspaper (Times of India), wherein the Toll Free Number was also given. My residence is in DLF CITY Phase 2, Gurugram, Haryana, and the clinic is in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. Throughout my route coverning about 38 Kilometers, I kept on trying at number of places, and every time the response was “CELLULAR NET WORK NOT AVAILABLE”. I feel shocked more so when the AIRTEL Building of very useless stripes of Black & Red, is situated on the main NH-8. Had the airtel mobile service was normal, I would not have bothered to get a JIO Connection.

  143. I think the all oporetors .
    Good .
    Because .
    Last few years all companies giving tarrif very expensive .
    Jio is best for all .
    Other networks.
    Bogus all news

  144. Airtel now a days became busy is advertisement and giving add because it has no proper network taking it granted because of its customers base atleast now wake up and give proper signal and net connectivity to the people

  147. Airtel is making fool of its customers. there is no connectivity and calls are lost in air. There is no speed of broadband and frequently goes bad.
    Govt should interfere in all these matters and bring all service providers at par with International standards.

  149. Hello,

    Airtel signals and connectivity is going down day by day. I urge immediate action to be taken by the Airtel team to improve the the signals else they may get down in the market.

  150. Airtel nowadays gone down below standard in respect of service and customer care persons also don’t give any respect to customer, Government hospitals are better than Airtel company service.
    As long as Airtel don’t set right customer care service and signals strength this will follow Reliance as happened today.
    Rajan

  179. The dealer and customer care executive both said the this offer is not available to your number. So please let me know how to avail this offer for my number?
    And My Number is 9036369862

  200. Don’t buy airtel 4g. actually this is 1g. I bought and disappointed.no video is running smoothly. everytime circle is moving and moving.
    But jio is very fast.i going to buy jio.

  215. Hi,
    I want to go for this plan. Airtel rolls out unlimited calls, 84GB 4G data at Rs 399. What is the procedure to go for this plan.
    Feel free to call me for clarifications @ 9972899109.

    Regards,

    9972899109

  224. Apart from your home state, if you are on rooming you’ll not be able to do Out going call you need to do regular recharge for doing outgoing call & sms.

  230. Airtel will not make loss if roaming is included in Rs399/= Plan.I changed fm Airtel to Jio during my 8days visit to Kolkata only because of Roaming. Delhi customers in particular Dr Citizens find it difficult to manage.Make it only for Dr Citiz. Next time I will prefer Airtel only Vis a Vis Jio.

  234. Airtel 4G network is very bad when compared to Jio network & net speed. Airtel should improve it’s services & network speed too in order to satisfy the customer needs. Airtel should make changes in daily limit of data. & also they have to give 128KBPS speed after 1 GB of data to compete with Jio network. Otherwise, whey can’t compete with Jio network.

  246. My offer has expired yesterday(10/01/2018) which is for 3 months..
    So,Again I want to continue the same which is for 84 Days…
    Pls Contact me on:9885665678.

  248. Jio war: Airtel rolls out unlimited calls, 84GB 4G data at Rs 399
    this scheme is not on Airtel website as of 11 jan 2018
    So is it a valid one

  249. I want this plan it is very good .iam the customer for airtel in all aspects like sims dish since 8 years thank u airtel for your services…

  260. The offer of teecome companies is to attract the customers but they are not giving god service.
    AirTran is having hidden charges . The BSNL services are too poor as unintrapted service are not maintained.
    Jio service is also causing disturbances as calls are stopped at anytime and Many a times calls are not connected inspire of trying repeatedly and conversation is also not listened while continuity of calls.
    Hope the covered companies may improve their services.

  261. Hmm
    Now everything is clear that how much profit these company did before JIO came in the market and still they are not below Jio’s PRICE TAG. Moreover JIO is the only company which is providing true 4G, wherever and whenever you go with JIO it is 4G only. So I am scare about the field where JIO is not present like DSL connections how much profit these companies are making and our hole in the pocket is increasing month by month.
