It is very correct, i also spoke with Airtel persons. The offer is good, but it is not free as they says on Advertisement.
They are trying to compete with Jio. But the way they choose is fooling peoples.
While the company did not directly state it, everyone s guess is that Airtel s sudden decision to launch such a seemingly radical offer has everything to do with countering Jio s recent extension of its welcome offer.
