Airtel Buy 1 Get 1 offer is giving selected prepaid customers an opportunity to get an additional 28 days of mobile services without paying for a second recharge.
Under this limited-period promotion, eligible users recharging with Airtel’s Rs 349 or Rs 399 prepaid plan can receive another recharge of the same value free.
The offer effectively doubles the normal 28-day validity to 56 days.
However, there is an important condition: the promotion is not available to every Airtel customer and is being rolled out to selected prepaid numbers through the Airtel Thanks app.
Airtel Buy 1 Get 1 Offer on Rs 349 and Rs 399 Plans
Under the promotion, customers who recharge with the Rs 349 or Rs 399 prepaid plan can get a second recharge of the same plan without additional payment, provided the offer appears on their account.
Both plans normally come with 28 days of validity. With the additional recharge, eligible customers can get services for an effective period of 56 days at the cost of one recharge.
This brings the approximate monthly cost down to Rs 175 for the Rs 349 plan and Rs 200 for the Rs 399 plan when calculated over the extended validity.
The promotion is available for a limited period, and customers should check the Airtel Thanks app before making a payment.
What Benefits Do Airtel Rs 349 and Rs 399 Plans Offer?
Although both recharge plans provide unlimited calling and daily SMS benefits, their internet data allowances are different.
The Rs 349 prepaid plan offers 2GB of high-speed data per day, along with unlimited 5G data for eligible customers in Airtel 5G coverage areas. It also includes unlimited local and STD calls and 100 SMS per day.
Additional benefits include a 12-month Adobe Express Premium subscription, free HelloTunes and Airtel Safe services.
The Rs 399 prepaid plan offers unlimited 4G and 5G data without a daily data limit, along with unlimited local and STD calls and 100 SMS per day. It also includes a 12-month Adobe Express Premium subscription.
Here is a comparison of the two plans:
| Benefits | Rs 349 Plan | Rs 399 Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Regular validity | 28 days | 28 days |
| Validity with offer | 56 days | 56 days |
| Data | 2GB/day + unlimited 5G | Unlimited 4G/5G |
| Voice calls | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| SMS | 100/day | 100/day |
| Adobe Express Premium | 12 months | 12 months |
| Effective monthly cost | Rs 175 | Rs 200 |
The Rs 349 plan may suit customers who need a fixed daily data allowance, while the Rs 399 option offers greater flexibility for people with higher data requirements.
How to Get Airtel’s Free Second Recharge
Customers can check their eligibility through the Airtel Thanks application. The offer is account-specific, so simply having an Airtel prepaid connection does not guarantee access.
Follow these steps:
Open the Airtel Thanks app on your smartphone.
Go to the prepaid mobile recharge section.
Look for the Rs 349 or Rs 399 recharge plan.
Check whether the plan displays the ‘1+1 Recharge Free’ offer.
If the offer is visible, select the eligible plan and check its terms.
Complete the recharge after confirming the promotional benefits.
If the special offer tag does not appear, the promotion has not been extended to that mobile number.
When Will the Free Recharge Become Active?
One important detail customers should check is how Airtel credits the additional recharge.
The company has not clearly explained the activation mechanism for the free second recharge. A similar offer from Reliance Jio used an additional recharge voucher that became available after the existing plan expired.
Airtel could follow a similar arrangement, but customers should not assume that the activation process will be identical. They should check the terms displayed in the Airtel Thanks app before making the payment.
The promotion could help eligible subscribers reduce their mobile recharge expenses, particularly those who regularly use the Rs 349 or Rs 399 plans.
However, customers should remember that this is a limited-period promotional offer for selected users, not a permanent change to Airtel’s prepaid recharge plans.
