For data savvy subscribers, who need some extra data at night to update their apps and for downloading media content, Indian telecom operator Aircel has launched Good Nights offer. Under this, the operator will offer unlimited data benefits between 3 AM to 5 AM every day. That’s an extra benefit for all prepaid subscribers having subscribed to any data packs.
The best part of Good Nights offer is that there is no additional charge or special packs required to avail the data benefits. The unlimited 3G/2G data benefits will be activated automatically if you have already subscribed to any data packs. But wait the freebie comes with some limitations.
The unlimited data benefits between 3 AM to 5 AM will not be at full speed. Aircel will throttle the speed when you hit the fair usage policy (FUP) limit of 500 MB per day. Speed will be limited to 16kbps (which is virtually of no use) when you hit the daily limit.
