Bharti Airtel Ltd, the third largest mobile services provider globally, has launched its Wi-Fi app – Airtel Hangout. Airtel customers can download the Hangout app free from Android or iOS store and seamlessly latch on to the network in these zones to experience faster Internet speeds. With a big focus on Wi-Fi zones that provide customers a superior data experience, Airtel has already gone live across eight locations in Delhi/NCR in a short span of time.
On the installation of the app, a customer will have to validate his/her phone number to start the session on Airtel Hangout. Once validated, every time the customer is near an Airtel Wi-Fi zone, the person will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network if has given consent to auto connect.
Else, the customer will get notified about the Wi-Fi network and then can connect to the network manually. Customers can also make these necessary settings under the app preference settings. Airtel customers will just need to have an activated Airtel 3G/4G pack/plan since the Wi-Fi data consumption will be charged from this pack/plan, the company said.
