Airtel announces two special offers for prepaid customers amid COVID-19 lockdowns in India. In addition, Vi (Vodafone Idea) also joins the list of networks doing so. Both the companies are offering almost similar offers. The former will be offering its Rs. 49 recharge plan for free as a one-time gesture for its prepaid customers. It will also offer double the benefits of its Rs. 79 plan. The company says they introduced these offers to help its 55 million low-income customers in these challenging times. Whereas, Vi also launched special offers for its 60 million low-income customers to help them stay connected. Like Airtel, Vi is also providing a Rs 49 pack for free and the plan includes Rs 38 Talktime, and 100MB data for 28 days. It should be noted that this is also a one-time offer.
