Airtel Unveils New International Roaming Plans for Global Travelers

Airtel has introduced an exciting new international roaming plan designed to enhance the travel experience for its users across 189 countries. This innovative offering aims to eliminate the hassle of navigating through various roaming zones and recharge packs, making it easier for users to stay connected while exploring the globe.

Enhanced Roaming Experience

The latest international roaming plan provides users with unlimited data access, subject to fair usage policies. Key features include:

• Auto-activation upon landing, ensuring seamless connectivity.
• In-flight connectivity for uninterrupted communication while traveling at high altitudes.
• An auto-renewal option for frequent flyers, allowing them to stay connected effortlessly.

Special Plan for NRIs

In addition to the general plan, Airtel has tailored a special international roaming package for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and expatriates. Priced at Rs 4000, this plan is valid for one year and includes:

• 100 calling minutes for international calls.
• 5 GB of data specifically for roaming.
• The ability to use the same plan within India, featuring 1.5 GB of daily data and unlimited calling.

Commitment to User Convenience

Siddharth Sharma, Director of Marketing and CEO of Connected Homes at Bharti Airtel, emphasized the company’s focus on user convenience. He stated, "Our newly streamlined international roaming plans are designed to redefine the value we offer to our customers, empowering them with generous data and voice options while they travel." Sharma reassured that Airtel is dedicated to adapting its solutions to meet the evolving needs of its clientele.

Airtel’s Global Reach

Bharti Airtel stands as a major player in the telecom sector, operating in 15 countries and serving over 550 million customers worldwide. Notably, it ranks as the second-largest mobile operator in Africa. The company caters to a significant number of international roaming users, particularly in Europe and North America.

In a strategic move, Bharti Global, a subsidiary of Bharti Enterprise, acquired a 24.5 percent stake in British Telecom for approximately $4 billion in November 2024. Additionally, to bolster its services in India, Airtel secured 400 MHz of 5G spectrum from Adani Enterprise on April 22.

Despite these advancements, Bharti Airtel’s stock has been under pressure, showing a decline of over 1 percent as of 1:20 PM on the day this news was reported.
