Airtel also announced that post the exhaustion of pack data benefits, international roaming data will now be charged at just Rs 3 per MB, a reduction of 99% from Rs 650 per MB.

The international roaming packs, which are available for all popular global destinations, come with validity of one day and 30 days, said the company.

The one day pack is designed for short international trips and for approximately $10 customers can stay connected through their travel. While the 30 days pack offers connectivity through long duration trips for approximately $75 and comes with data and India calling benefits.
