Telecom wars are on and the end-consumer is winning the battle. After the entry of Reliance Jio, the existing telcos are scurrying to keep up and are introducing newer plans every other day to stay relevant in a market that is constantly changing. Bharti Airtel, which had recently revised its long-term prepaid plan of Rs 1,699 has now come up with a Rs 148 prepaid recharge pack with 28 days of validity. The Rs 148 prepaid recharge plan of Airtel is offering 3GB high-speed 3G and 4G data.

Airtel's Rs 148 recharge plan is currently being offered in AP (Andhra Pradesh) and Telangana as well as Karnataka circles. There is no news whether the plan will be expanded to other circles.
