Jio cut prices of recharge packs under its Republic Day 2018 Offer
Airtel and Vodafone followed suit by updating the existing plans
The most affordable plans with 1GB data per day start at Rs. 149
Jio plans were updated last week as part of the operator's Republic Day 2018 Offer, which gave users a minimum of 500MB extra data on plans priced between Rs. 149 and Rs. 799. Unsurprisingly, Airtel and Vodafone followed suit by updating their own prepaid plans with daily data allocations and unlimited calls to offer more 4G data and validity without increasing prices to keep users from migrating to Jio. But with so much choice, it becomes difficult for the consumer to keep track of the best prepaid packs for them. We take a look at the recharge packs Jio, Airtel and Vodafone offer across price points with the best daily data allocations.
Jio, Airtel, Vodafone plans under Rs. 200
The Jio Rs. 149 plan offers 1.5GB data per day, unlimited calls across India, no roaming charges, 100 SMS messages per day, and access to the company's apps for 28 days. At the same price, Airtel offers 1GB data per day, unlimited local and STD calls, free roaming, and 100 SMS messages per day for 28 days. Vodafone, however, offers 1GB data per day at Rs. 149, along with unlimited calls, no charges for calls made while roaming, 100 SMS messages per day for 28 days.
Around the Rs. 200 price point, Jio users will get 2GB data per day for 28 days at Rs. 199 courtesy the Republic Day 2018 Offer, along with the same freebies as mentioned above. Airtel offers 1.4GB data per day for 28 days at Rs. 199, while Vodafone offers the same at Rs. 198; both plans come with the respective above-mentioned freebies.
