NEW DELHI: Telecom operator Airtel today launched 10-day international roaming packs starting at 1,199 with free incoming calls and reduced mobile Internet rack rate by 99 pct to Rs 3 per megabyte.

“The 10-day roaming pack starts at 1,199 for Singapore and Thailand, offers unlimited free incoming calls, 2GB data, 250 minutes of free calling to India and 100 free SMSes daily,” Airtel said in a statement.

The company has launched these special packs for people travelling to Singapore, Thailand, the US, Canada, the UK and the UAE.

The 10-day pack for US-Canada and the UK is available for 2,999 and offers unlimited free incoming calls, 2GB data, 250 minutes of free calling to India and 100 free SMSes daily.

The plan for the UAE will also cost the same with similar benefits, except that the subscriber will get only 250 minutes of free incoming calls.

In all the plans, the subscriber will be charged 3 per megabyte after 2GB data limit gets exhausted, which is “a reduction of 99 pct from 650 per MB”, the statement said.
