New Delhi | Big news for Airtel users: the telecom giant is quietly rolling out free Apple Music subscriptions for prepaid customers. Until now, Apple’s premium music service was bundled only for Airtel’s postpaid and broadband users, but it looks like prepaid users are finally getting in on the action.
This comes right on the heels of Airtel giving customers complimentary access to Perplexity AI Pro, a premium AI assistant worth nearly ₹17,000 a year. Clearly, Airtel is on a mission to load its recharge packs with more than just data and calls.
Six Months of Free Apple Music for Some Prepaid Users
Several Airtel prepaid customers have spotted the Apple Music offer inside the Airtel Thanks app. According to what’s shared so far, the deal gives users six months of Apple Music at no extra cost. Once that free period ends, the subscription auto-renews at ₹119 per month.
Interestingly, the offer isn’t just showing up on high-value unlimited 5G plans—it’s even been spotted on regular recharges. That suggests Airtel might be rolling this out to a wider audience, but so far, Airtel hasn’t made an official announcement.
If you’re an Airtel prepaid user, the easiest way to check if you’re eligible is to open the Airtel Thanks app and look for the banner.

Airtel Is Going All In on Content Bundling
Apple Music isn’t the only bonus Airtel is dangling. The company has spent the past year beefing up its prepaid and postpaid plans with OTT subscriptions and digital perks.
For example:
- The ₹279 plan gives users one-month access to Netflix Basic, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, and Airtel Xstream Play Premium. Airtel pegs the combined value of these at around ₹750.
- Heavy data users can opt for the ₹598 plan, which includes unlimited 5G data, unlimited calls, and bundled OTT apps for 28 days.
- At the higher end, the ₹1,729 recharge comes with three months of unlimited data, voice, and access to over 25 streaming platforms in 16+ languages.
And of course, let’s not forget the Perplexity AI Pro subscription Airtel announced in July 2025. This perk offers advanced AI features like file uploads, image generation, and access to cutting-edge models—at zero extra cost to users.
Why This Move Matters
Bundling Apple Music for prepaid users is a clever play. Millions of prepaid subscribers typically rely on free or ad-supported music apps like Spotify and YouTube. By offering six months of Apple Music free, Airtel is betting that people will get hooked on the ad-free, high-quality experience—and stick around as paying customers once the trial ends.
For Airtel, it’s not just about data anymore. The company wants to be the one-stop shop for both entertainment and productivity—whether that’s binge-worthy shows on Netflix, music streaming on Apple Music, or AI-powered tools through Perplexity.

Bottom Line
If you’re on Airtel prepaid, don’t be surprised if a free Apple Music banner pops up in your Thanks app soon. The offer might not be available to everyone right away, but it’s a strong sign that Airtel is serious about giving prepaid users the same perks that were previously reserved for postpaid customers.
In short: Airtel’s recharge packs are turning into value-packed digital bundles—not just for calls and data, but for streaming, music, and even AI tools.
