Overview

• Airtel has started showing some prepaid customers a six-month complimentary Apple Music trial within the Airtel Thanks app.
• Subscriptions automatically renew at Rs 119 per month once the free period ends, but the carrier has not officially confirmed eligibility criteria.
• Users have reported seeing the benefit even on non-unlimited 5G plans, indicating it may not be limited to high-value recharges.
• The extension builds on a February partnership that initially offered Apple Music and Apple TV+ only to postpaid and broadband subscribers.
• This development follows July’s rollout of free Perplexity Pro access and highlights Airtel’s broader push to bundle entertainment and AI services into recharge packs.
