Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are going neck-on-neck with each other when it comes to offering prepaid plans. The Mukesh Ambani-led Jio ruled the prepaid market for more than two years now and the introduction IUC Top-Up vouchers made things difficult for the telco. Both Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are offering 3GB daily data plans under Rs 350, but Jio’s plan is Rs 50 cheaper than that of Airtel. However, the IUC Top-Up vouchers have now made it even between the two telcos as Jio prepaid users will have to perform a minimum of Rs 10 recharge to make non-Jio voice calls. Bharti Airtel’s cheapest 3GB daily data plan is priced at Rs 349, whereas the same plan from Jio costs Rs 299 per month. Both the telcos are offering the said plans across the country in 22 telecom circles.

Bharti Airtel has been offering Rs 349 prepaid plan as an open market one for more than two years now. When Airtel launched the plan for the first time, it used to offer 2GB daily data. Later on, the telco increased the data benefit to 2.5GB per day, and now, the same plan is shipping with 3GB data per day for a period of 28 days. Besides the data benefit, Airtel is offering unlimited voice calling without any FUP limit and 100 SMSes per day for the same validity period. Additionally, Airtel prepaid users recharging the Rs 349 plan will get free access to Shaw Academy courses and Wynk Music. These additional benefits will also be valid for the duration of the pack.
