Airtel users with 1GB/day or 1.5GB/day plans can now recharge with these data vouchers to get access to unlimited 5G. These vouchers can also be combined with quarterly and annual plans, enabling extended 5G access for users at a nominal cost.

These data vouchers are available for recharge on the official Airtel Thanks app on Android and iOS. As of now, they are NOT accessible on third-party recharge platforms.

The new Airtel 5G data vouchers come shortly after Jio introduced add-on 5G data packs. Interestingly, both telcos are offering 5G data vouchers for the same price and benefits. However, Vodafone-Idea (Vi) is yet to unveil its separate 5G packs in the country.

In related news, Jio, Airtel, and Vi recently hiked their prepaid and postpaid tariffs in India by up to 20%. The most affordable monthly plans now start at Rs 189. The telcos have kept the data, calling, and SMS benefits unchanged. You can read our comparison of the cheapest plans in Airtel, Jio, and Vi that you can use to keep your SIM active.
