Airtel has announced an interesting data plan which will be very useful for users who carry multiple devices and also if you want to share a data plan with family members or friends. The Airtel data share plan allows one to share 3G data between 3 devices. The plan is available for both prepaid and postpaid customers.

The new data plans costs Rs.1000 per month and 3 different devices can simultaneously  use up to 5GB of 3G data, beyond which they can have unlimited access to the internet at speeds of up to 80KB/s. The only condition on this data plan is that all the three Airtel numbers should be located in the same telecom circle.

To activate this data share plan, Airtel users need to sms ‘DATA SHARE ADD Mobile Number’ to 121. Users can also add mobile numbers of their friends and family by visiting Airtel’s website .

A while back, Reliance Communications too had launched it’s ‘All Share Postpaid Plan’ which enabled it’s customers to share 3000 mins of lolcal/STD voice calls, 3000 local/national SMS, 3GB of 3G data and also, unlimited local calls within the group. This plan was priced at Rs.1,497.

Although, as compared to RCom’s plan, the data plan from Airtel does not offer any voice calls or SMS but still, will be quite beneficial for the subscribers and their family members who can share a single data plan.
