Airtel Launches Two New International Roaming Plans with Unlimited Data

Airtel has introduced two new international plans with unlimited data in India, including one which costs Rs 2,999 while the other one costs Rs 3,999. The company previously launched such packs back in April 2024 with a starting price of Rs 133/day.

Spotted by Mukul Sharma first, the two new Airtel international roaming plans have now been listed on Airtel’s website. The new international roaming plans priced at Rs 2,999 and Rs 3,999, valid for 10 days and 30 days respectively. Both offer unlimited data, making them ideal for heavy users while traveling abroad.

Another convenient feature: postpaid users don’t need to swap cards to use these plans. Airtel says roaming benefits will kick in automatically once you land in any of the 189 supported countries.

SPAM alert notifications using vernacular languages are only accessible to customers using Androiddevices. All these features continue to be free for customers and will get auto-activated for all Airtel customers without them having to raise a service request.
