Airtel rolls out new data-centric Rs 48 and Rs 98 plans to take on Jio, Vodafone-idea

Airtel recently lost to Jio and slipped down a notch to the third spot in terms of its telecom subscriber count in India. Airtel, reportedly, is now the third largest telecom operator in the country, displaced by Jio which has taken over its number two position. However, the telco is not letting up without a fight and is rapidly rolling out new plans and recharges.

Airtel has now rolled out two new recharge plans that are aimed at customers who need data for a month. The new plans are priced at Rs 48 and Rs 98. The Rs 48 recharge plan from Airtel offers 3GB of 3G/4G data daily for 28 days, while the Rs 98 plan from Airtel offers 6GB of 4G/3G data for 28 days. Subscribers will only get data with these recharge plans, since there is no calling benefit. However, the telco also offers 10 free SMSes with the Rs 98 prepaid recharge. 

The two new recharge options from Airtel are yet to show up on Airtel’s website, but are available via third party recharge websites and apps like Paytm. They are also available on all circles the telco operates in. However, there are other data packs featuring similar pricing, currently listed under the Data section on the Airtel website. Priced at Rs 49 and Rs 92, these plans offer 3GB and 6GB of high-speed data for one and seven days respectively. The company is most likely to replace these plans since they offer considerable lesser validity than the new recharge packs. Additionally, there’s also the Rs 29 recharge plan, which offers 520MB data for 28 days. 

The new recharge options by Airtel come soon after Vodafone quietly rolled out a new Rs 139 plan on its website. The new pack offers 2GB 4G/3G data with 100 SMS for 28 days, along with unlimited local and STD calling and roaming benefits. This plan can be availed in Delhi and NCR, Gujarat, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and UP East. It is priced between the company’s already existing Rs 129 and Rs 159 plans. With the Rs 129 plan, users get unlimited calling, along with 1.5GB 3G/4G data and 100 SMS per day for 28 days. The Rs 159 plan also comes with unlimited calling and offers varying benefits in differing Vodafone circles.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
