However, with this launch users can have the experience of 4G on their mobile. To attract more users, Airtel has said the facility would be available at the current 3G plan prices. Not a bad offer for mobile users who at the 3 G price can avail 4 G speed.</div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: CharisSILRegular, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It is not known how long customers will get this benefit. The service was launched by Srini Gopalan, Director – Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel India. “We will help customers in Bangalore upgrade to 4G LTE technology at no additional cost,” he said.</div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: CharisSILRegular, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Also, he informed customers that to avail the facility they have to change their existing SIM to a 4G SIM to start using 4G on mobile. The only plus point is that they don’t have to take new data plan. Though not a bad idea, the only hitch is of purchasing 4G SIM. This too will not stop buffs from laying their hands and enjoying the 4G at the 3G price. Once the service gets overwhelming response in Bangalore, it is understood that the company will take it to other parts of the country also.</div> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: CharisSILRegular, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Also, Airtel has unrolled some new plans for heavy users. 10 GB of 4G data will be available for Rs 1,000. The duration of the data pack has not been specified by Airtel.</div> </div>
