Airtel Short-Term Prepaid Plans Offer Better Data Benefit Compared to Long-Term Recharges

Bharti Airtel is probably the only telecom operator in India right now providing versatile prepaid plans to the customers. Taking the route of the postpaid segment, the Sunil Mittal-led telco is even offering OTT subscription of Amazon Prime with its Rs 299 prepaid plan valid for one month. On top of that, there are a couple of prepaid plans from Airtel which ship with Rs 4 lakh insurance benefit. But on the other hand, Airtel also has some long-term prepaid plans like Rs 597, Rs 998 and Rs 1,699, offering unlimited voice calling, data benefit and 100 SMSes per day for the entire validity period.

Rs 1,699 Prepaid Plan by Bharti Airtel

When it comes to long term plans and specifically annual prepaid plans, Bharti Airtel has the Rs 1,699 prepaid plan which is very popular. The popularity of the plan is owing to the figures in the pricing which all the other telcos have used as well. There are also Rs 1,699 prepaid plans by Reliance Jio, BSNL and Vodafone Idea. The Rs 1,699 prepaid plan by Airtel offers 365 days validity, and it ships 1.4GB data with Norton Mobile security for a year, Airtel Xstream subscription, Wynk Music, and a free four week course on Shaw Academy. The per GB cost in this plan comes out to be Rs 3.34 per GB.

Want to Recharge Every Month? Here is the Calculated Cost

If you were to take the method of recharging, again and again, you would have to go for the Rs 199 prepaid plan which offers 1.5GB data per day with 28 days validity. This means that you would have to recharge 13 times in a year with a per GB price of Rs 4.7. This means that if you were to compare the long term plan then, you’d approximately be paying Rs 496 more for the same amount of data. For just a little more amount of data throughout Rs 365 days, you would pay Rs 2,587 or Rs 888 more than the Rs 1,699 prepaid plan.
