Airtel Kenya Launches All-in-One Bundles

Airtel Kenya has announced a new product called Airtel Premier, which will see its customers enjoy all mobile units under a single plan. This means that Airtel customers will be able to purchase data, SMS, voice, and data in an all-in-one bundle. While this product is similar to the All-in-One bundle offered by competitor Safaricom, it has some added benefits.

Firstly, customers have three different choices for each plan. For instance, if a user makes a lot of calls but does not use data often, they can subscribe to a plan that prioritizes call minutes. Alternatively, if they prefer data over call minutes, they can purchase a plan that prioritizes data usage. In contrast, Safaricom’s product only offers a fixed choice.

Secondly, the plans come with free Airtel to Airtel calls, meaning that the minutes will only be consumed when a user makes a call to other networks.

Thirdly, the bundles can be rolled over, which means they will not expire at the end of the month if they are not fully used.

Airtel has also mentioned that it has lowered its roaming rates, though this is a topic for another day.

Airtel Premier is significant for the carrier, as it was announced in the presence of key government officials, including the CS for Cooperatives and SMEs, Simon Chelugui.

According to Chelugui, this announcement is timely, given that many Kenyans have criticized telcos for charging high rates when they are roaming.

He also briefly mentioned that the government has disbursed over KES 27 billion in Hustler Fund, and over KES 17 billion has been repaid. This is an important highlight because Airtel Kenya, along with M-PESA and T-Kash, is one of the platforms that Kenyans use to access the loans.
