Airtel Free Amazon Prime Mobile Edition Offer Details

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 11:47 AM PDT

Bharti Airtel offers multiple prepaid plans to users across India. The telco is known for providing very competitive plans when compared with Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio. Today, users pay close attention to the kind of additional benefits that are offered with prepaid plans. So along with the basic benefits, the telecom operators focus on bumping up the additional benefits as well. Trying to do the same, Airtel went a step further with the Airtel Thanks. For the unaware, Airtel Thanks is a benefits program offered by Bharti Airtel. It is extended to every customer recharging with an unlimited prepaid plan from the telco. Inside the Airtel Thanks, users are entitled to receive a free benefit of Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition. Here's what you should know about this offer.

Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition Offered by Airtel Will Work on Limited Devices

Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition only works on a single smartphone. Almost all of the prepaid plans from Bharti Airtel come with a free subscription to the Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition. Note that the free subscription offered to the users by the telco is only valid for 1 month. However, there is also a prepaid plan with which users are entitled to get a free Amazon Prime Video membership. Now this plan offers a regular membership of the over-the-top (OTT) platform. The plan that I am talking about comes for Rs 349. It comes with a short validity of 28 days and offers users 2.5GB of daily data. The Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition can't be purchased like a standalone subscription. It is only offered to the users through external partners of Amazon. In the case of India, that partner is Bharti Airtel. Amazon had partnered with Airtel in January to launch the mobile-only plan for the first time across the world. There's no way of saying how positively this has impacted the telco's subscriber addition goal.

OnePlus 9RT Might Be Priced the Same as OnePlus 8T

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 07:40 AM PDT

OnePlus 9RT is expected to be priced between Rs 40,000 and Rs 44,000. OnePlus might be launching its next smartphone in India very soon. We might be getting an upgrade of the OnePlus 9R in the form of the OnePlus 9RT. The new phone is already launched in China and is expected to enter the Indian market soon.

OnePlus 9RT Expected Specifications and Price

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the OnePlus 9RT may be launched at the same price as the OnePlus 8T at the same price of 42,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128 GB model. OnePlus 9RT was launched in China at approximately Rs 38,400 for 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage variant, while the 12GB and 256GB variant was priced at approximately Rs 44,200. This phone runs on Oppo’s ColorOS based on Android 11. The device has a 6.62-inch Full HD screen with a punch-hole display, which will support up to 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is set to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC processor. It comes with up to 12GB of RAM. In terms of optics, the phone is set to feature a triple camera at the back with a 50MP Sony IMX766 flagship sensor primary camera, a 16MP secondary sensor, and a 2MP third camera. It sports a 16MP selfie camera. This model packs a 4500mAH battery which will support up to 65W of fast charging. This smartphone comes with up to 256GB of inbuilt storage. It is a dual sim phone. It was launched in Black, Blue, and Silver colour variants. This phone supports 5G, and there is an in-display fingerprint sensor. Recently Realme launched GT Neo 2. It is said that these two phones are quite similar in terms of their features. According to Youtuber Utsav Techie, the OnePlus 9RT is the improvised version of GT Neo 2. Only time will tell when the company will launch the smartphone in India.

Ortel Broadband Offers Unlimited Data Plan for Rs 199

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 05:18 AM PDT

Ortel is a regional broadband and cable TV service provider operating in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. The company offers a very intriguing broadband plan to the users. It is worth noting that Ortel only provides broadband service in one region of Odisha – Bhubaneswar. On top of that, the company has very limited broadband offerings. There are only two plans but one of them is worth your attention. The plan that we are talking about comes for Rs 199 and offers unlimited data for the month. Let's take a look at what all the users get with the Rs 199 broadband plan from Ortel.

Ortel Rs 199 Broadband Plan Benefits You Should Know

Ortel offers a Rs 199 broadband plan in Bhubaneswar and the company calls it "Ortel Prime". This plan offers unlimited data. The company hasn't mentioned a fair-usage-policy (FUP) data limit on this plan meaning users can consume as much data as they want without worrying about a dip in the internet speed. Talking about the internet speed, this plan offers a mere download of 5 Mbps. Ortel, however, doesn't offer a uniform download and upload speed. The upload speed offered with this plan is 1 Mbps only. So while the plan is cheap and the users get a ton of data, the speed offered is just enough to be connected to a single or at max two devices. There is also a 10 Mbps broadband plan available. But that comes at a cost of Rs 399 per month. At this price, users can instead go for the entry-level plan from JioFiber which costs the same and offers 30 Mbps speed or the state-run telco's Rs 449 plan that also offers 30 Mbps speed. If you are looking to pay as little as possible for unlimited data, you can consider the Rs 199 broadband plan from Ortel.

Nothing to Launch a Smartphone Soon

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 03:28 AM PDT

Nothing came out with the ear (1) truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones a few months back in India. The earphones were very hyped and rightly so because they came with a fresh design and basically offered the consumers a chance to stand out. Now, according to a Mobile91 report, Nothing is soon planning to come out with a smartphone. The publication got the word about the development from a popular tipster called Mukul Sharma. It is worth noting that even Carl Pie, founder, Nothing, had suggested that the young tech company will foray into other tech products. Here's another interesting development. Nothing will be partnering with Qualcomm to power its future products. This could mean that we can expect if Nothing was to come out with smartphones in the future, they might be powered by Qualcomm's chipsets.

Nothing Power Bank Could be a Reality Soon Too

Mukul Sharma further told Mobile91 that Nothing is planning to launch a power bank. The product might be called 'Nothing Power (1)'. Notably, the power bank is expected to launch before the smartphone. As per the publication's report, the power bank might make it to the market by the end of this year or as early as a few weeks from now. As for the smartphone, Nothing might launch it in early 2022. It will be interesting to see how a Nothing's smartphone will be branded and launched in the market. Just what refreshing element can Nothing add to the current generation smartphones to make them stand out from the rest of the market. Nothing is by far one of the most exciting tech brands in the market today. It is a young company. But its message to bring something fresh for the eyes and the feel is a market strategy that can rattle even the biggest companies. It will be nice to see another OnePlus moment happening with Nothing.

BSNL Offering Bharat Fibre Customers 4 Months of Free Service

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 01:41 AM PDT

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is now offering fiber broadband users free service for up to four months. The state-run telco offers both DSL as well as FTTH services to customers across India. BSNL has announced that it will offer four months of free service to users if they pay for 36 months (3 years) in advance. Thus, after paying for 36 months, the consumers will be entitled to receive service of up to 40 months. For users who pay for 24 months (2 years), the state-run telco will offer 3 months of additional service for free. Lastly, by paying for 12 months or 1 year, the customer shall be entitled to receive 1 month of additional service for free. Not only this, BSNL has regularised its Bharat Fibre broadband plans.

BSNL Rs 449, Rs 799, Rs 999, and Rs 1499 Plans Regularised Now

For the unaware, the term regularised means that it has now been made permanent from the telco. BSNL is known for launching/announcing promotional offers. The thing with promotional offers is that they have an expiry date. But not the regularised plans. According to a Keralatelecom report, all of the major Bharat Fiber broadband plans from BSNL including the Rs 449 plan, Rs 779 plan, Rs 999, and Rs 1499 plan have been regularised now. This means that the customers can keep using the Rs 449 plan for as long as they want. That is why the company is also offering long-term purchase offers to the customers with these plans. BSNL Bharat Fiber has some very competitive broadband plans. The only area where BSNL can step up is in providing more over-the-top (OTT) benefits with its high-end broadband plans. The telco's competitors including Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber provide a ton of OTT benefits with broadband plans that are in the premium range. It is a good move from the telco since the need for fiber broadband is only going to grow in the future.

Starlink Might Start Providing Internet Service Inside Aircraft

Posted: 14 Oct 2021 11:14 PM PDT

Starlink, a satellite communications (satcom) company, has been aggressively working towards its plan of providing global coverage and connectivity soon. One area where the company might succeed is in providing internet services inside airplanes. This might happen soon as the satcom company is in talks with the airlines at the moment. Starlink is discussing installing its hardware inside the aircraft with the airlines. The development comes through a Reuters report saying Musk tweeted that Starlink is talking with the airlines. Starlink has plans of sending over 12,000 low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites into space. The satcom company wants to provide global coverage and connect the remotest parts of the world to the internet.

Starlink Will Face Competition from OneWeb, Amazon Project Juniper

It is worth noting that it is not just Starlink that plans to expand globally for providing satellite broadband services. There are companies like Bharti backed OneWeb, Amazon Project Juniper, Hughes Communications, and more are going to compete with Starlink in providing satcom services. It will be interesting to see how many satcom companies will be interested in providing internet services inside airplanes. Starlink is focusing a lot on the B2C market, and thus, providing in-flight connectivity is something that will fall in line with the company's vision. But there's no saying whether this will happen or not. The tweet from Musk only said that the companies are talking; nothing's finalised yet. This will also bring competition to the terrestrial network providers. Starlink is going to enter India in mid-2022. The satcom company will have to get regulatory approvals before it can start providing internet services. The company has faced a lot of scrutiny for selling pre-bookings without getting any approvals from the relevant authorities in India. More and more airlines will now be looking to bring in-flight connectivity for the users as soon as possible.

Airtel HD Voice Helping 4G Users Who Do Not Have VoLTE Devices

Posted: 14 Oct 2021 06:47 PM PDT

Even after the proliferation of 4G smartphones with Voice over LTE (VoLTE) capability in India, there are many who use an LTE only device. This makes it hard for them to make voice calls using the 4G networks. However, Bharti Airtel has an application to help out such users. The telco is now offering an 'Airtel HD Voice' application that will help enable VoLTE and VoWi_Fi calling for Android smartphones. The app is currently only available for Android smartphones. However, this application is not available for every Android smartphone user. Here's everything you should know about this app.

Airtel HD Voice Features and Details You Should Know

First of all, the app description mentions that it is an application that will only run on Android smartphones running on at least Android 6, Android 7, Android 8, and Android 9. Further, if an Android user doesn't have an Airtel SIM card in his/her smartphone, then he/she isn’t eligible for using its service. The company has promised that with the next update of the smartphone, a VoWi-Fi calling facility will be enabled. A thing worth noting here is that it is a fairly new application and was released just over a month back on September 5, 2021. The app has over 1000+ downloads on the Google Play Store. Maybe Airtel isn't marketing the application heavily because the VoWi-Fi feature is still in the works. Regardless, this is an interesting app to bring after years of providing 4G services. Out of the 46 ratings available on the Google Play Store, the app is rated 2.3 stars out of 5 stars. The bad user experience might be there because the app is still under works by the company. What's strange here is the timing of the application. This app would have made more sense three years or two years back. There might be a fairly small number of users at the moment who have smartphones that are not VoLTE supportive. After the arrival of Jio and the LYF smartphones which were affordable and came with support for VoLTE, the smartphone vendors in India started rolling out cheap 4G VoLTE smartphones as well. But this app is a blessing in disguise for the small percentage of the users who are not looking to upgrade their smartphones and still want to continue using their LTE only device. As mentioned above, only Airtel users can download and run this application. For other people, this app will not download on their devices.
