In a move to take on Reliance Jio, Airtel, today has come out with unlimited calling packs for their prepaid customers. All that one has to do for this is to recharge their prepaid with the designated data pack and unlimited voice calling is bundled with it

Bharti Airtel Limited (“Airtel”), India’s largest telecommunications services provider, today launched two new bundled packs for its prepaid customers with free voice calling and substantial data benefits. These two packs add to Airtel’s wide bouquet of innovative packs and plans for customers, offering them more flexibility.
