In the meanwhile, in June, Airtel's mobile Internet packs, both 2G and 3G, sold online now cost more for prepaid customers across the country. The company has withdrawn discounts that it was offering for online purchase of mobile data packs, bringing the prices at par with Internet packs sold offline through retailers.

"There is a slight change in few of our online prepaid data packs owing to the discontinuation of discounted offers on these," an Airtel spokesperson told PTI.
