Telecom service provider Bharti Airtel has partnered with Google to offer the Google One cloud storage subscription service to its customers. All Airtel postpaid and Wi-Fi customers will receive six months of 100 GB Google One cloud storage at no extra cost. Customers can also share this benefit with up to five additional users.
“With smartphones becoming the main device for managing both personal and professional information, storage has become a significant concern for users. We are pleased to collaborate with Google to address this issue by providing our customers with dependable, secure, and user-friendly storage solutions. This partnership will present an opportunity for millions of our postpaid, Wi-Fi customers allowing them access to a further 100 GB of storage,” said Siddharth Sharma, Director Marketing and CEO of Connected Homes at Bharti Airtel.
According to Airtel, this partnership seeks to address the data storage limitations faced by users by providing them ample space to securely store photos, videos, documents, and other digital content without requiring the need to delete old files or rely on physical storage devices. Furthermore, Android users can back up WhatsApp chats to Google Drive, which makes it easier to switch to a new device. The 100 GB Google One cloud storage is compatible with Android and iOS devices, allowing Airtel’s diverse customer base to access the service.
“We are excited to partner with Airtel to bring Google One to millions in India. Together, we will make it easier for our users to safely back up photos, videos, and important files on their phones with more storage across Google Photos, Drive, Gmail, and more,” said Karen Teo, Vice President, Platforms & Devices Partnerships, APAC, Google.
The 100 GB Google One cloud storage will be available to all Airtel postpaid and Wi-Fi users at no extra cost for the first six months from the activation date. To redeem this offer, Airtel customers can log into the Airtel Thanks App and claim the benefit. After six months, a monthly fee of Rs. 125 for the 100 GB Google One cloud storage will be added to the customer’s bill. Customers who choose not to continue with the subscription will have their Google One plan canceled, and the associated benefits will be forfeited.
