India’s largest telecom network, Bharti Airtel with over 268 million subscribers under their belt today made a big announcement to counterattack the fast growing Reliance Jio. ‘Death of National Roaming’ says Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman, Bharti Airtel at an ongoing MWC 2017 Keynote event.
Starting April 1, 2017, Airtel customers roaming within India will enjoy free incoming calls/SMS, and there will be no premium on outgoing calls allowing them to speak freely wherever they are within the country. Also, there will be no additional data charges on national roaming. Home data packs for customers will apply even while they roam across India.
Gopal Vittal, MD & CEO (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel said, “This marks the death of national roaming and the whole country will now be like a local network for our customers, who will not have to think twice before making or receiving calls or using data while traveling outside their home base. Airtel has again set the benchmark in delivering best in class value backed by a great network experience.”
