“Airtel was the pioneer to launch ‘family’ as a proposition way back in 2015…it is unique for multiple connections at home. It brings out the benefit of sharing between the family like data roll-over or convenience of single bill and a host of other benefits like OTT. This has been popular among our retail customers and many of them are now on family plans,” a source from the company told bu sinessline.
Serving nuclear families
Getting a consistent feedback from its customers for Airtel’s products and services, the company decided to launch such affordable plans for nuclear families, the person requesting anonymity said.
“Now, there are young nuclear families who are away from their hometowns and they need a solution for their small family. Family plan was earlier starting at ₹999 with four connections, but a lot of them asked if they can have two connections and get all the offers and advantages of a ‘family plan’,” the source explained.
Recently, RJio had launched new family plans starting at ₹399 per month with additional three add-on connections at ₹99 per SIM. This was converting into a total monthly charge of ₹696 for a family of four including a monthly charge of Rs.174 per SIM.
