Airtel’s Smarta Bundles: A Budget-Friendly Option for Calls and Data

By Kibaki Muthamia on February 26, 2025

Staying connected in Kenya isn’t just a luxury – it’s a necessity. Home, work, school – it has become a crucial part of our lives.

Whether it’s work, school, or simply keeping in touch with friends and family, affordable mobile plans make a difference.

With the cost of living rising, finding a bundle that balances both price and value is more important than ever.

Airtel Kenya’s Smarta Bundles step into this space, offering flexible daily call and data plans that don’t stretch your budget.

What’s in the Smarta Bundles?

There are two options, depending on how much data and talk time you need:

1. For Ksh 1,000 per month:

  • 30GB of data (1GB per day)
  • 400 minutes to any network
  • 3,000 Airtel-to-Airtel minutes (100 minutes daily)
  • 2,000 SMS to any network
  • Airtel Money perks – a 100% refund of bank-to-wallet transaction fees as airtime

This plan works well for anyone who needs reliable daily data for browsing and social media without overspending.

2. For Ksh 1,500 per month:

  • 60GB of data (2GB per day)
  • 900 minutes to any network
  • 3,000 Airtel-to-Airtel minutes (100 minutes daily)
  • 5,000 SMS to any network
  • Airtel Money perks – same refund benefit as the Ksh 1,000 plan

This one suits heavier users – whether you’re working remotely, streaming, or just need extra talk time.

What Makes These Bundles Stand Out?

Beyond the numbers, there are a few extra perks:

  • No wasted data – Any unused daily data rolls over to the next day.
  • Monthly rollover option – Renew your bundle within 24 hours of expiry to keep your remaining data.
  • No Airtel-to-Airtel transaction charges – You can send money within the network for free.
  • No charges on Paybill and Till payments – Paying bills via Airtel Money won’t cost extra.
