Aircel launches new affordable 3G Plans

Aircel has just announced brand new 3G plans at what are looking like very attractive prices. The plans starting at Rs. 7 for 50MB of data go right up to Rs. 997 for 10GB of  high speed data. With Aircel’s new offering of Pocket Internet Smart  , the company aims to “revolutionize the landscape of mobile internet“.

Aircel’s Pocket Internet Smart will offer 3G and 2G data on a single recharge and the plans will be device agnostic. The data limits have been set only on 3G data. What this means is that a user will be able to consume data at speeds varying from 3.6-7.2Mbps according to their plan after which  there is no limit on the amount of data being consumed at EDGE speeds. This is definitely an interesting move by Aircel and one which we hope other operators would introduce soon. The plans are not locked to a particular device and can be used across phones , tablets and even dongles. Prices might vary slightly across circles so you are recommended to contact Aircel Customer Care by dialing 121 from your phone for exact prices.
