  • There are no additional charges for users to avail happy hours benefit.
  • It works on existing data packs. No special packs required.
  • No additional subscription or opt-in is required.

Happy Hours is available to all Airtel pre-paid customers by default and does not require an opt-in. The data back will be credited to customers after 6.00 am every day.

Commenting on the launch, Ajai Puri, Director – Operations (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel, said:

Happy Hours is yet another innovation from Airtel and a win-win proposition for both customers and developers. While customers get the benefit of convenience & value, developers can look forward to higher in-app content uptake. We invite all app developers to leverage this innovative product.

In addition, we hope that this will have a positive impact on the overall network experience during the day/peak-hours as Happy Hours can help shift some of the non-urgent data traffic to non-peak hours and help reduce congestion.
