Airtel has updated its long-validity prepaid offerings with two strong plans — ₹1029 and ₹1199 — both designed for heavy data users who want bundled OTT and premium digital benefits.
The ₹1029 plan comes with 84 days validity and includes unlimited 5G data (where available) plus 2GB per day 4G data, unlimited calling, and 100 SMS per day. On top of that, Airtel is bundling JioHotstar Mobile for 3 months along with Adobe Express Premium, making it a great option for streaming and content creation users.
The ₹1199 plan offers 84 days validity with unlimited 5G data and 2.5GB per day 4G data, along with unlimited calling and daily SMS. This plan focuses more on entertainment benefits — it includes Amazon Prime Lite, Airtel Xstream Play Premium, and Adobe Express Premium.
Overall, both plans are clearly targeted at users who want long validity, high daily data, and bundled entertainment subscriptions. The ₹1029 plan is great for balanced usage with Hotstar access, while the ₹1199 plan is more entertainment-heavy with Prime and Xstream benefits.
BSNL also offers some good long-validity prepaid plans for users who prefer to recharge once and stay worry-free for months. These plans are quite popular among people who mainly need unlimited calling and decent daily data at a lower overall cost.
Here are some of the commonly used BSNL long-validity plans:
| Plan Price | Validity | Daily Data | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹997 | 164 days | 2GB/day | Unlimited calls + 100 SMS/day |
| ₹1999 | 330 days | 1.5GB/day | Unlimited calls + 100 SMS/day |
| ₹2399 | 365 days | 2.5GB/day | Unlimited calls + 100 SMS/day |
If you calculate the monthly cost, these plans are quite affordable compared to doing multiple short-term recharges throughout the year.
However, the main thing to check is BSNL network coverage and speed in your area, as the company is still expanding its 4G network in many cities.
Overall, these plans are a good option for users looking for long validity and budget-friendly calling plans.
