How do I Get it Active?
Walk in to any airtel office closest to you with your current Airtel SIM and request for a sim swap. After the sim swap, your 4G will be up and you’ll be given 4GB data to test run the new 4G LTE services.
You can run a check if Airtel 4G is visible in your location and let us know with feedback. Open your 4G smartphone’s settings and scroll down to
Mobile networks– Network operators– Search networks. Tap Search networks to initiate a search. After a short period, a list of available networks will be presented to you.
Let us know once you are able to get hold of Airtel 4G services in your location.
