Airtel Kenya has significantly upgraded its Premier postpaid plans, quietly offering subscribers substantially more data and minutes without an official announcement. These enhancements aim to sweeten the deal for high-value customers by boosting allowances across various price tiers.

• The primary existing price tiers (KES 1,499, KES 1,999, and KES 2,999) have seen dramatic increases in allowances.
• An entirely new entry-level plan at KES 499 has been introduced, while the KES 999 and KES 4,999 options have been dropped.
• The allocated minutes are now explicitly split equally between on-net and all-net calls.
• Subscription and termination still require an in-store visit to an Airtel center nationwide.
