Airtel is leaving no stone unturned to keep its user base intact. The company understands that data is the ultimate key to customer loyalty which is why it has been focussing a lot on data-centric plans lately. The company in June launched a Rs 558 prepaid plan which not many users know about. Data lovers can go for this plan as it offers 3GB daily data with a validity period of 82 days which is a lot.

Benefits of Airtel Rs 558 prepaid plan: Airtel offers unlimited voice calling without any FUP limit, 100 SMS per day, and 3GB daily data with Rs 558 recharge plan. The plan ships with 82 days validity which takes the total data benefit to 246GB. There is an extra data benefit for users who recharge their number via My Airtel app. They will get 3.4GB data a day instead of 3GB. To recall, Airtel had a similar prepaid plan of Rs 549 which was removed after the new Rs 558 plan was launched. The Rs 549 offered similar benefits but for only 28 days.

Airtel's Rs 558 plan also competes with Jio's Rs 509 plan. Jio offers 4GB daily data, unlimited voice calls to Jio network and 100 SMSes per day for just 28 days. Calls to networks other than Jio will be charged separately. Airtel takes a lead here as it offers data benefit for a longer validity than Jio.

Airtel last month also launched Rs 599 premium plan that comes with data and calling benefits. Along with these, there is also a life insurance cover worth Rs 4 lakhs. The plan comes with a validity of 84 days. The telecom company has joined hands with as tied up with Bharti AXA Life for the insurance benefit. The insurance claim with this plan offers a cover of Rs 4 lakhs. To avail the insurance coverage, user simply has to enroll through an SMS or Airtel app after the plan is active. The insurance will be available to all customers aged from 18 to 54 years. There is no paperwork or medical examination required and the certificate of insurance will be delivered instantly. Airtel is the only telecom company until now that has come up with this insurance cover freebie.
