Reliance Jio is all over the Indian telecom sector since 2016. The telco, which first stirred the industry with its aggressive prepaid plans has now shifted its focus towards postpaid segment, in order to increase the ARPU. Already, the telco has its ARPU much higher than the private telecom operators such as Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone and Idea Cellular. And stepping into the postpaid segment will only help the telco increase its ARPU. Alongside Jio’s aggressive Rs 199 postpaid plan, other telcos also unveiled a bunch of new postpaid plans to stay in contention with each other. Of course, operators are yet to match Jio’s aggressive plan, but postpaid plans from Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular come with additional benefits on top of the standard voice and data benefit.

Reliance Jio
Reliance Jio has set its foot in the postpaid segment by launching the Rs 199 plan that offers unlimited voice calls, 25GB of data per month with no data rollover sadly and 100 SMS per day for a period of 30 days. Jio’s plan is also eligible for international roaming calls and messages and the benefits are minimal too.
Bharti Airtel
Earlier this month, Airtel reintroduced one of its popular postpaid plan which is the Rs 649 one. A couple of months back, the telco for some unknown reasons removed the Rs 649 plan for new users, although existing users were on the same plan even after the removal. The Rs 649 plan is now offering 50GB of data, unlimited voice calls without any limit to any network across the country even on roaming, one free add-on connection, 100 SMS per day and free Amazon Prime Subscription for an entire billing cycle.
