Google One 100GB cloud storage free for Airtel's postpaid, Wi-Fi users for six months
Bharti Airtel has partnered with Google to offer 100 GB of Google One cloud storage at no cost for six months to its postpaid and Airtel Wi-Fi users. The move follows Reliance Jio's earlier offer of free cloud storage to its prepaid and postpaid users.
Unlike Jio, which has now cut its offer from 100 GB to 50 GB of free cloud storage with no specified validity, Airtel is offering 100 GB of Google One cloud storage free for six months.
Airtel's postpaid and Wi-Fi users will have to pay ₹125 per month to use Google One subscription for storing their photos, Gmail data and WhatsApp data. The fee is lower than ₹130 per month, which Google charges users after their free storage of 15 GB ends.
Currently, Google offers the 100 GB plan at ₹35 per month for the first three months after users exhaust their default 15 GB of free storage.
