Vodafone 4G

Airtel Launches myPlan Infinity With Unlimited Local, STD & National Roaming Calls and 3G/4G data
The big cat fight is growing more and more between the leading telecommunication providers regarding the rates and the data plans. In this era of online world, where one provider is offering speedy net connection, others are slashing the rates to the lowest level to grab more customers. After the introduction of Jionet connection by Reliance Communication, other service providers like Vodafone, Airtel and Idea make sure to offer much cheaper plans to the customers. The Delhi–based telecom service provider Bharti Airtel lands up with a new data plan “myPlan Infinity’ that allows you to make voice call for free. Also under this plan you can enjoy unlimited music from Wynk Music and Wynk movies.
Features of myPlan Infinity by Airtel
Airtel had launched ‘myPlan’ a long time back, in the year 2013. Since then the plan becomes quite popular as it offered different plans under different prices. The user can easily choose his / her plan accordingly. After 3 years of successfully implemented plan, now Airtel comes up with a revised plan called ‘myPlan Infinity’ that offers huge data plans under 3G / 4G connection.
- The plan will be available with post paid connection. In the earlier plan, users used to get only two price options under post paid connection. But with this new plan they will get two more options along with the previous ones. These new prices are cheaper and will offer much more than the price you are paying.
- The lowest pack is of Rs. 1199/- per month. It will offer you unlimited voice calls, STD and roaming calls, 1 GB 3G or 4G internet, 100 SMS per day, unlimited music and movies from Wynk Music and movies offer. Under this pack you can also enjoy extra data packs if needed at the rate of 50 paisa per MB.
- The second price option is of Rs. 1599/- per month. Under this plan, you will get 5 GB 3G or 4G internet pack with unlimited voice calls (local, STD or Roaming), 100 SMS per day, unlimited music and movies from Wynk movies and music. This pack also allows you to use your data at the lowest cost of 50 paisa per MB.
- The other two little expensive packs are still in the market that offers 10 GB and 20 GB data packs respectively. According to the spoke person from Bharti Airtel, these new two schemes are launched for those who enjoy calling more than using data packs.
What to expect from it
At the first place unlimited voice calling will no doubt mange to attract a number of users. Though the rival provider Idea has already come up with similar plan of unlimited voice calls and 500 SMS per day in just Rs. 999/- per month, the network issue with Idea still remains the same.
In recent times Airtel launched the ‘open network’ plan where users can check the nearest Airtel tower for network connectivity. This will definitely make a difference to the plans as people now hopeful about the network of Airtel.
The plan seems to be worth other than the Rs. 1599/- plan. To compare with Rs. 1199/- plan, one will pay extra 400 bucks to get 4GB more data in a month. This seems to be little expensive as Rs. 200 will be enough for this extra portion of data connection. Under this plan if the user runs out of data, he can use additional data in just 50p per MB which is quite cheaper than other providers.
Other than this the plan overall looks convincing and cheaper. Though other service providers are coming up with new and cheaper products but their connectivity and network issues are helping Airtel to grow more. With their attractive and promising 4G connection and now ‘open network’ plan, the company has already gained quite a wide range of users.
On the other Reliance is all set to give a tough competition to Airtel with their Jio. In a couple of months we will get to know who wins over who in this tough cat fight.
