Jio: Airtel now offer 1GB data & unlimited calls @ 199/-

Reliance Jio has quietly updated one of its prepaid packs to provide customers with unlimited data. The Rs. 149 plan till recently came with 2GB of bundled data with 28 days of validity - once the 2GB data cap was exhausted, the customer would have to buy a top-up voucher. In contrast, most other Jio plans came with unlimited Internet access at a lower speed even after the high-speed FUP was over. With Jio updating the Rs. 149 plan, customers will get unlimited data with this plan as well.

The Rs. 149 plan still comes with 2GB FUP for 28 days, but now users can access the Web at 64kbps speed after the high-speed quota is over. Notably, even though Jio has provided customers with unlimited Internet, the post-FUP speed is still lower than that of its other plans - the Rs. 96, Rs. 309 and plans priced higher all offer 128kbps speed, twice that of the Rs. 149 plan, once the data the high-speed is exhausted. Jio's Rs. 19 and Rs. 49 plans still do not have unlimited Internet access once the FUP is consumed.

India's largest telecom operator, Bharti Airtel has introduced a new tariff plan priced at Rs 199. This plan has been rolled out for Airtel's existing subscriber base and offers similar benefits as Jio's Rs 149 prepaid plan, a report by TelecomTalk said on Tuesday. The plan offers unlimited local and STD calls along with 1GB data on 4G/3G/2G network for a period of 28 days.
However the 'unlimited' calls could be restricted to 300 minutes per day and 1200 per week. Also the plan might be applicable for select customers, the report added.

The Rs. 149 plan costs a little less than half of the popular Rs. 309 plan that offers 56 days of validity and 1GB data per day FUP, and is a lot more lucrative. Even the Rs. 96 plan comes with 7GB of 4G data, even though the validity is just 7 days. The Rs. 149 plan is not available for postpaid consumers of Jio. Calls are free, of course, and the pack comes with Jio apps subscription and free SMSes.

Airtel also has a Rs 178 plan for new customers which offered unlimited calls and 1GB data. Customers can avail of this plan on first and second recharges. The company has also promoted its Rs 399 plan for select users that provided 1GB data and unlimited voice calls for 84 days.
