Airtel also announced that post the exhaustion of pack data benefits, international roaming data will now be charged at just Rs. 3/MB, a reduction of 99% from Rs. 650/MB, so that customers can enjoy uninterrupted data usage without having to worry about bill charges.

Activating the IR Pack is very simple and customers can activate the pack through the Airtel website, My Airtel App, USSD and Customer Contact Centers. The advantage of these packs is that customers can activate them at any time and pay only when they actually use them.
