Airtel users can now avail YouTube Premium with prepaid recharge pack of ₹200. This plan also provides 30GB data and access to many OTT platforms. However, it does not include calling and SMS facilities.
If you use Airtel’s prepaid SIM and want to watch ad-free videos on YouTube, then the company’s ₹ 200 recharge plan can be useful for you. Airtel has included YouTube Premium subscription in this plan. With this, users can take advantage of many premium features on YouTube, YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.
In this plan, access to OTT platforms like Amazon Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5 Premium, SonyLIV, Lionsgate Play and Sun NXT is also available. However, this is an add-on pack, so to use it you need to have an active base plan on your number.
What will you get in Airtel’s ₹200 plan?
The validity of this recharge pack of Airtel is 28 days. In this, users get a total of 30GB data. Along with this, benefits of YouTube Premium and other OTT platforms are also given.
The thing to note is that unlimited calling or SMS facility is not available in this pack of ₹ 200. Therefore, before recharging, make sure that there is already an active base plan on your number.
What are the benefits of YouTube Premium?
With YouTube Premium, users get rid of the advertisements shown on the platform while watching normal videos. Additionally, supported videos can be played in the background. This means that you can listen to the audio of the video even while using other apps or even when the phone screen is off.
However, background playback is not available in the YouTube Shorts player. This subscription also includes YouTube Music Premium, through which users can use premium features to listen to music. Keep in mind that sponsorship or some promotional content may still be visible in creators’ videos.
How to claim YouTube Premium in Airtel’s ₹200 plan?
If you have recharged with this plan, follow these steps to activate YouTube Premium:
- Open the Airtel app on your phone.
- Go to Rewards & OTTs section.
- Find the YouTube Premium option here.
- Tap on it and follow the instructions given on the screen.
YouTube Premium subscription will be valid for 28 days just like the recharge pack. Therefore, it would be better to claim it on the very first day after recharging, so that you can take full advantage of it. After the validity is over, to avail this benefit again, the relevant recharge will have to be done again.
