Bharti
Airtel has announced the launch of its 4G
services in
Bangalore, starting this month. But for the time being, this service will be
available only on the Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones.
Subscribers
will be able to use the 4G network for data while the calls will still be
routed through the old 2G or 3G networks.
The service is available to both prepaid and postpaid subscribers.
4G is
much faster than 3G. Using it, users will be able to stream high definition
video with zero buffering, download 10 movies in less than 30 minutes, upload
full holiday albums in less minutes and connect multiple devices without any
glitches.
The
company has introduced a new 4G plan for customers with heavy usage - 10 GB 4G
data plan will cost Rs 1,000.
The user will have to get his existing SIM replaced with a 4G SIM. According to the release, existing 3G plan users will be able to access 4G services at the same cost. New customers buying a 4G SIM can select any 3G data pack/plan to get 4G.

Gopalan, Director - Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel India said: "Airtel
has always set the technology trends in India and was the first operator to
introduce 4G in the country. The information technology capital of India saw
the advent of 4G in 2012 and today we are proud to announce the launch of the
much awaited Airtel 4G services on mobile in partnership with Apple."
