Running low on data just when you need it most? Airtel’s got your back with their handy data loan facility! Borrowing 1GB is quick and easy, ensuring you stay connected even when your data pack runs dry. Here’s your guide to navigating this lifesaver:
Eligibility:
Minimum 3 months of Airtel prepaid service on your number.
Good recharge history is preferred.
Ways to Access the Loan:

SMS: You might receive an SMS from Airtel (56321) offering a data loan when your data pack depletes. Simply reply with “1” to activate it.
Airtel Thanks App: Open the app and head to the “Recharge” section. Look for the “Data Loan” option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Loan Details:
