Airtel has reportedly withdrawn its popular ₹299 unlimited prepaid recharge plan in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand telecom circles, making the ₹349 recharge the company's new entry-level unlimited daily data plan in these regions. While Airtel has not made an official announcement about the change, users and industry trackers have reported that the plan has disappeared from the Airtel Thanks app and the operator's recharge listings for affected customers.

The move means subscribers who previously relied on the ₹299 plan will now have to spend ₹50 more each month if they want an unlimited calling plan with daily data benefits.

What the ₹299 Plan Offered

The ₹299 prepaid recharge was one of Airtel's most popular monthly plans. It came with:

• 28 days of validity
• Unlimited local and STD voice calls
• 1GB high-speed data per day
• 100 SMS per day
• Airtel Hello Tunes
• Perplexity Pro AI subscription as a bundled benefit

The plan was especially popular among users looking for an affordable monthly recharge with unlimited calling and moderate daily data.

₹349 Becomes the Cheapest Unlimited Plan

With the reported removal of the ₹299 pack in the affected circles, Airtel's ₹349 recharge has become the lowest-priced unlimited daily data plan.

The ₹349 plan includes:

• 28-day validity
• Unlimited voice calling
• 2GB high-speed data per day
• 100 SMS per day
• Six-month Apple Music subscription
• Airtel Hello Tunes
• 12-month Adobe Express Premium subscription

For users who need more daily data, Airtel also offers the ₹399 plan, which provides:

• 2.5GB data per day
• Unlimited calling
• 100 SMS per day
• 28-day validity
• JioHotstar Mobile subscription for 28 days
• Other bundled Airtel benefits

More Plans May Also Be Affected

According to reports, Airtel has also reportedly removed the ₹579 and ₹619 prepaid plans in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand circles. However, these plans continue to appear for some customers and in some regions, suggesting the changes may currently be circle-specific or phased. Airtel has not officially confirmed the withdrawal of these plans.

Is the ₹299 Plan Gone Across India?

Not necessarily.

As of now, reports indicate that the change is limited to the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand circles. Airtel's official terms and conditions still reference the ₹299 recharge, and recharge availability can vary depending on the telecom circle and even individual customer accounts.

If you are unable to find the ₹299 plan:

• Check the Airtel Thanks app.
• Search for the plan manually instead of browsing the list.
• Visit Airtel's official recharge page for your telecom circle.
• Availability may differ depending on your location and mobile number.
