Bharti Airtel has reportedly introduced a limited-period Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer on two of its popular prepaid recharge plans priced at Rs 349 and Rs 399. The promotion allows eligible subscribers to receive an additional recharge of the same value without paying extra, effectively extending the validity from 28 days to 56 days.
The offer, listed as ‘1+1 Recharge Free’ on the Airtel Thanks app, is available only to selected customers. Multiple users have reportedly shared screenshots of the promotion on social media, although Airtel has not officially announced the complete details of the scheme.
Airtel Rs 349 Plan: Benefits and Validity
The Rs 349 prepaid plan comes with 28 days of validity and offers 2GB of high-speed data per day. Subscribers also receive unlimited local and STD voice calls and 100 SMS per day.
The plan includes unlimited 5G data in eligible network coverage areas, subject to Airtel’s applicable terms and conditions.
Additional benefits include a 12-month Adobe Express Premium subscription, complimentary HelloTunes and Airtel Safe services. Airtel Safe provides security features such as spam call alerts and protection against potentially fraudulent links.
Under the Buy 1 Get 1 offer, eligible customers can receive a second Rs 349 recharge free. This effectively provides 56 days of service for Rs 349, bringing the average monthly recharge cost to approximately Rs 175.
Airtel Rs 399 Plan: Unlimited 4G and 5G Data
The Rs 399 prepaid plan also offers 28 days of validity, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day.
Its biggest difference is the data benefit. Unlike the Rs 349 plan, which provides 2GB of daily data along with unlimited 5G access, the Rs 399 plan offers unlimited 4G and 5G data without a daily usage limit, subject to applicable conditions.
The plan also includes a 12-month Adobe Express Premium subscription, HelloTunes and Airtel Safe benefits.
With the promotional offer, eligible subscribers can receive two Rs 399 recharges for the price of one. This provides up to 56 days of service for Rs 399, equivalent to approximately Rs 200 per month.
Rs 349 vs Rs 399: Which Plan Offers More?
Both plans provide the same basic calling and SMS benefits, along with 28 days of standard validity. However, their data allowances differ.
The Rs 349 plan is suitable for users who are comfortable with 2GB of daily data and want unlimited 5G access where available.
The Rs 399 plan is aimed at heavier data users who want unlimited 4G and 5G data without a daily data cap.
Under the BOGO promotion, both plans effectively double their validity, making the difference in data benefits the main factor when choosing between them.

The promotion is not available to every Airtel prepaid subscriber. Customers can check whether their numbers qualify by following these steps:
