To Take on Jio, Airtel Rs. 995 Recharge Pack Offers 'Truly Unlimited' Voice Calls, 1GB Data per Month

By





  • The pack apparently has no daily or weekly fair usage limits
  • Another 999 prepaid pack gives 60GB data with a validity of 90 days
  • This new pack is applicable for most users in different telecom circles

Airtel has rolled out a new long-term unlimited prepaid pack priced at Rs. 995 that offers users with 1GB 3G/ 4G data per month (total of 6GB), 100 SMS messages per day, and unlimited voice calls (including national roaming), with a validity of 180 days making it a half-yearly pack. While Airtel usually specifies a daily and weekly fair usage policy (FUP) limit on calling minutes, there are apparently no such restrictions for the Rs. 995 prepaid pack. The offer is valid for most users in Delhi-NCR, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and other telecom circles.
The new Rs. 995 pack seems to be focused towards customers with heavy calling requirements. On the other hand, it does not seem to offer decent benefits on the data front considering most of Airtel's unlimited packs come with a minimum of 1GB 3G/ 4G data per day.
Interestingly enough, this pack is priced close to Airtel's Rs. 999 prepaid pack that comes with unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS messages per day, and a total of 60GB 3G/ 4G data, with a validity of 90 days. While this pack has a lower validity, it does offer a multi-fold increase in terms of high speed data access. The Rs. 999 pack is in direct competition with Reliance Jio's Rs. 999 prepaid pack that offers similar benefits, albeit with "truly unlimited" (no FUP limits) voice calling and complimentary subscription to its suite of Jio apps. Jio only has one half-yearly pack that is priced at Rs. 1,999.
Ever since Jio jumped into the Indian telecom scene, Airtel has been keeping its pace steady by refreshing and announcing packs that match the most competitive ones in the market. Recently, Airtel refreshed its Rs. 199, Rs. 448, and Rs. 509 prepaid packs to offer a higher amount of data. Some of the company's packs have also been reshuffled to provide users with more validity.

Xiaomi Mi A1 Oreo Beta update now seeding Last week  Xiaomi was looking for beta testers  of the Mi A1 Android Oreo upgrade. Today the update has finally started seding and we even got a bunch of screenshots from it. The Oreo Beta of the  Xiaomi Mi A1  is 1104 MB in size, and according to an early adopter makes the fingerprint reader on the back is a bit faster. Apparently, the dual-SIM feature is not entirely flawless in this early edition, though. The tests should end soon as  Xiaomi promised that the Mi A1 Oreo stable update will arrive before the end of 2017.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

By
A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...
