Bharti Airtel begins offering 4G LTE in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam now

Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam have been added to the list of Indian regions where Bharti Airtel is testing its new wave of 4G LTE services at the moment. This ultra fast data facility is being offered by the network operator to existing customers from these two territories.

What’s interesting is that Airtel subscribers from Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam can take advantage of the company’s 4G network by paying their usual 3G fees. This complimentary upgrade is being provided because the telecom operator wants its existing customers to become the first ones to receive the Airtel 4G experience, as revealed by Venkatesh Vijayraghavan, the CEO of its Andhra Pradesh and Telangana arm.

To avail of the offer, customers will of course need to possess a 4G supporting handset. These can either be from the high-end league consisting of devices like the Galaxy S6 or the HTC One M9, the mid-range league comprising of the options like the OnePlus One or the Xiaomi Mi 4 or the low-end league that’s highlighted by phones such as the Yu Yureka, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 or the Lenovo A7000.

Those existing customers who have old SIM cards will need to walk into Airtel retail touchpoints across Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam in order to grab 4G SIM cards. Airtel has even gone on to ink deals with Samsung and Flipkart with an aim of proliferating 4G devices and bringing more customers under the fold.
