Terms & Conditions

The 'MyAirtel Family' service allows a prepaid user to create a 'family' of upto five (5) members including himself/ herself and share his/her 3G or 4G data pack with them. No sharing of 2G data packs is allowed.The 'MyAirtel Family' service is free, i.e., there are no charges for creating a 'family'.All members of the 'family' must be Airtel prepaid customers from the same telecom Circle (please note that Mumbai, Maharashtra, Kolkata, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh (East), Uttar Pradesh (West), Chennai and Tamil Nadu each constitute an independent Circle.A prepaid user cannot create more than one 'family' simultaneously. Similarly, a prepaid user can be a member/ beneficiary of only one 'family' simultaneously.The user creating a 'family' (hereinafter referred to as "Owner") will not require the consent of other users to add them to a 'family'. However, an added user (hereinafter referred to as "Member") may remove him/herself from the 'family' at any point in time by sending SMS <DEL> <space> <10 digit mobile number> to 121 or by logging on towww.airtel.in/family.When a Member removes him/herself from a 'family', the Owner will be notified by SMS.All Members will have unrestricted access to the shared data pack of the Owner. The Owner acknowledges and agrees that once a 'family' has been created, he/ she will not be able to restrict data usage of individual Members from the Owner's data pack. Also, the Owner cannot allocate a portion of his/her data pack for sharing and once shared, the Owner's entire data pack is available to the Members.In respect of the shared data pack, neither the Owner nor any Member will be able to monitor any Member's or Owner's usage behaviour or quantum of usage, whether in aggregate for all Members or for an individual Member and will not be provided any Member's usage information even from Airtel customer service or through other channels.Once a 'family' has been created, every 3G or 4G data pack recharge of the Owner will be automatically shared with the 'family', until the Owner deletes the 'family'.The Owner may delete the 'family' in whole or in part, at any point in time and no consent will be required from any Member. A deleted member will be notified of deletion by SMS.A Member's existing or subsequently added data pack (whether 2G, 3G or 4G or handset bundled offers), i.e. whether recharged prior to addition to the 'family' or when part of a 'family', will be fully used prior to the Member being able to use the Owner's shared data pack.Service Specific Data Packs of the Members (such as Facebook, WhatsApp etc.) will be consumed in place of the Owner's shared data when the member is accessing the specific service.Night Store Data Packs (Daily Night Packs), any service specific packs (such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc), handset bundled offers, any free data provided by Airtel and 2G packs are not shareable. In case of Unlimited 3G packs that are being shared, the Owner will get throttled post the Data Limit on the pack. The Members of the Family, will not have access to Unlimited Data at Throttled speeds and will move on to charging from their other own accounts.Any night cashback earned through consumption of the shared data will be credited back as shared data only and shall also be shareable.When the shared data balance reaches thresholds of 100 MB, 50 MB and 10 MB, 0 MB, SMS warning alerts will be sent to all members of the family.When the shared data account gets exhausted, users who attempt a browsing session that might be charged from their individual account balance for their internet usage; will be notified with a Pre-Session USSD popup as well.If any member of the family, moves out of the Airtel Network of that particular circle to another network or Airtel network in another circle, they will be removed from the MyAirtel family automatically.The entire MyAirtel family will automatically cease to exist in event of any of the following;

a. The Owner ceases to be an Airtel subscriber
b. The Owner converts to Airtel post paid
c. The Owner moves to another Airtel Circle through MNP
 
so you can share your 4g/3g pack with 4 more people without any additional cost.
no one finds this attractive?
 
Shows sharing 3G/2G is allowed.Also activate that 12am-6am 50% data back on the app.You'll get 50% of the data you use between 12am and 6am back the same morning after 6am.It's free and valid for a month.Not sure if it'll be renewable or not though.
 
well it'll be added to same balance so you can carry forward. It's another way of charging 50% at night for data.

Though I like sharing feature more where you can share 250rs 1GB data within 5 connection if I am reading it right.
 
Hope they not close it soon, it would my mobile bill a lot.
I ll try to bring all my family members to airtel or second sim as airtel for this data benefit.

I have activated but didnt got any data back.

For 3G/4G sharing need same APN or any other? Just need to turn mobile data ON?
 
Welcome to MyAirtel Family. Now share your 3G Internet Pack with up to 4 members.
To ADD a member:
SMS ADD<space><10 digit mobile no> to 121
Or Visit: http://airtel.in/family

above is for sharing

for cashback you need to activate via app, thats one method i know.
 
ah good but didn't get why they didn't activate by default on all connection.
 
naah don't need it for night.
just when away from home/work that too for whatsapp mostly. this sharing will reduce expenses of recharging connection of every house member. Only I need to maintain data balance rest all can share from me.

for night i have reliable 4mbps connection at home, wireless can never beat wireline.
 
Same here. My brother did it once ,after I had and got back data in the morning. I didn't. So I activated it 3-4 times already. Hope it takes effect and I can see positive results tomorrow morning.
