Amazon Prime Video has introduced a single-user plan meant for Bharti Airtel cellphone users, the streaming giant announced in a press release today.
Airtel, the second largest telecom operator in India, is the first roll-out partner for Prime Video Mobile Edition, said Sameer Batra, Director, Mobile Business Development at Amazon, suggesting that the company may ink similar deals with other telecom operators in the country as it looks to expand the "reach of our service to the entire pre-paid customer base in India". There is also the Rs. 299 plan that offers Amazon Prime Video, unlimited voice calls, and 1.5GB of data (per day) for 28 days. However, Amazon's mobile-first offering will be limited for Airtel users only now.
At a recharge of ₹349 pre-paid bundle, they can get Amazon Prime membership with full Prime Video access, free fast shipping and unlimited ad-free music along with unlimited calling and 2GB per day for 28 days.
