We need a plan for long-term so that we don’t even have to think about our plan expiring for a long time. That is why purchasing yearly plans are the best and they are also cheaper with a long term perspective. Telcos such as Airtel, Jio, BSNL, and Vodafone offer year-long prepaid plans to their subscribers. Let’s take a look and compare them to see what we get in each of the offers.

Verdict
Talking about the plans above, it is clear that Airtel offers the maximum benefits and there is no FUP limit on unlimited calls like Jio for calling to people with Non-Jio numbers. But at the same time, Jio offers more data with a difference of rupee from Airtel. Vodafone’s and Airtel’s plans are almost similar except there are lesser benefits with Vodafone. But the cheapest plan here comes from BSNL and it offers the most amount of daily data, but the only catch is it is 3G and unlimited calling comes with a restriction of 250 minutes in a day.
