Idea Cellular Reduces SMS Benefit of its Nirvana Postpaid Plans to 100 SMS Per Month

Idea Cellular has recently revised its Nirvana range of postpaid plans and all the plans now offer better data benefit than earlier. However, for some unknown reasons, Idea has reduced the SMS benefit with its postpaid plans. Before the revision, Idea Cellular used to offer 3000 SMS with all the Nirvana postpaid plans, however, after the revision, the Idea Nirvana postpaid plans priced below Rs 1,500 offering just 100 SMS for the entire validity period. But the postpaid plans priced above Rs 1,500 still offering 3000 SMS per month, which turns to 100 SMS per day for the entire rental period.

Idea Cellular Reduces SMS Benefit of Postpaid Plans to 100 Per Month

Now, Idea Cellular has reduced the SMS benefit from 3000 SMS per month to 100 SMS per month. The plans which offer just 100 SMS per month are Rs 399, Rs 499, Rs 999 and Rs 1,299. And the plans which still offer 3000 SMS per month are Rs 1,699, Rs 1,999 and Rs 2,999. On the brighter side, the SMS benefit is valid across local and national roaming.

Vodafone Also Offering 100 SMS For the Entire Rental Period

This is a disappointing move from Idea Cellular, but the telco must’ve done this change to match Vodafone India. Very recently, Idea Cellular and Vodafone India confirmed their merger competition and formed a new entity called Vodafone Idea Limited. However, the telcos are yet to merge their tariff operations, which might happen in the next few months. For now, customers of Idea Cellular and Vodafone India have to make the recharges separately. And the same case applies to postpaid plans as well. Vodafone has its wide-range of postpaid plans under its Vodafone RED scheme, while Idea Cellular’s postpaid plans are called Nirvana plans.
