Aircel is offering new subscribers with local and STD voice calls at 20 paisa per minute, data usage of 250MB per month, and 50 local and national SMS for 365 days at a charge of Rs. 93. The pack also includes talk time of Rs. 70. If new Aircel subscribers are looking for unlimited local and STD calls, Aircel has brought a pack for 30 days at Rs. 175 and for 84 days at Rs. 349. Both the packs have 1GB 3G/2G data access per day and 100 local and national SMS for 30 days in addition to unlimited voice calls.
Existing Aircel subscribers can opt for a pack of Rs. 94 to get all local and STD calls at 20 paisa per minute in addition to 1,400 local and national SMS for 365 days. Similarly, existing subscribers can recharge their prepaid connections with a pack of Rs. 148 to get 2GB 3G/2G data in addition to 100 local and national SMS and voice for 250 minutes per day with a maximum limit of 1,000 minutes for 28 days.
