Airtel recently partnered with ZEE5 to offer unlimited access to premium content for its users and the company has also been introducing new prepaid plans as well. On similar lines, now Airtel has launched a new Rs. 289 prepaid plan that comes with bundled ZEE5 subscription, unlimited calling, and more.

The new Rs. 289 plan offers unlimited calls to all networks, 1.5GB/day, 100SMS/day, and comes with 28 days validity. Additional benefits include free access to ZEE5 Premium subscription, Airtel XStream Premium, Free Hellotunes, Access to Wynk Music, Free online courses, and Rs. 150 cashback on FASTag.
