Airtel International Roaming!

The company is implementing an automatic adjustment for international roaming customers so that they can avoid steep billing for not using roaming charges. This adjustment will protect the bill shocks and will charge as the daily pack for the particular country (which is awesome!).

This also means that, if a customer reaches the price of a day pack for the specified country, the customer will be automatically moved to that pack. This will, of course, allow the customers to use their network abroad without fearing the bill shocks.
