Airtel has also announced that promotional period for the bundles will come to an end on 9 August, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The bundles were introduced on a promotional period which started on 2nd March and was due to last for 90 days. However, it was extended to further monitor the developing usage trend.<\/p>\n<p>The reduction in volume of data has sparked conflicting reaction from Airtel customers. \u201cBasically, you have just doubled the prices of current data packages. Call it what it is, a price increase,\u2019 reads one of the comments<\/p>\n<p>Another comment reads, \u201cWe are finished! With the current economic hardships, I did not expect such an unreasonable hike.\u201d However, some Airtel customers believe the upward hike is justifiable, given the service they offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still a reasonable fee for the service they offer. Am sticking with you,\u201d commented one of the subscribers. Airtel is one of the top mobile operators in Malawi.
