Airtel is one of the few telecom operators in India that has several plans that offer free access to video streaming platforms like Disney+Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you are looking for a plan that gives you access to the aforementioned popular streaming services, check out the plans below. In addition to access to streaming services, these plans also offer some additional services like Apollo 24|7 Circle, Xstream mobile pack and more.
Airtel Prepaid plans
Starting with prepaid plans, Airtel has several plans that offer access to streaming services like Disney+Hotstar and Amazon Prime. While some of these plans give you Disney+Hotstar mobile for three months, others offer a full-year membership. Some of the most popular Airtel prepaid plans include the Rs 399 plan which has a validity of 84 days and gives you 2.5GB of daily mobile data along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day, whereas the Rs 599 plan gives you 3GB of daily mobile data, unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS per day and a validity of 28 days.
Airtel Postpaid plans
Talking about postpaid plans, Airtel has only four plans that offer access to OTT platforms. The Rs 499 plan gives you 75GB of data per month, unlimited calls, 100 SMS per day and Amazon Prime membership for six months and Disney+Hotstar mobile for one year.
Under the Rs 1,199 plan, customers get three add-on connections for family members, 150GB of monthly data and 100 SMS per day. You also get Netflix basic monthly plan, Amazon Prime membership for six months and Disney+Hotstar mobile for one year. If you are someone who’s interested in upgrading to Netflix standard and Netflix Premium, you can do so by paying Rs 300 and Rs 450 every month.
The Rs 1,499 Platinum plan lets you add up to four free add-on regular voice connections for family members, offers 200GB of monthly data, 100 SMS per day along with a Netflix standard subscription and Amazon Prime membership for six months. You also get one year of Disney+Hotstar mobile subscription. If you are interested in Netflix premium, you can upgrade the standard subscription by paying Rs 150 more every month.
One thing to keep in mind is that an Airtel user is eligible for the free six-month Amazon Prime and one-year Disney+Hotstar subscription only once in their lifetime, which means after the aforementioned time period, users will no longer get these benefits even if they stick to the plan.
