Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea Have Better Prepaid Offerings But BSNL Trumps in Long-Term Plan

Among all the facets of the telecom industry, there is one area that suffered the most with the coming of Reliance Jio, and that is prepaid. While the subscribers enjoyed massive benefits like free data, and then cheap data, that was not the case for the telecom industry with bruised revenue and earnings. But, now the situation has surely stabilised as compared to before. But, if we look at all the prepaid offerings available in the market right now, there is a slight divide between the telecom operators with the state-led telecom operator on one side and the other private telecom operators on the other side. There is long reasoning why that is the case, and each telecom operator has something unique to offer, which is leading to such a situation. Here is how Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other telcos like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio have a different reputation.

Situation of Private Telecom Operators

Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are the two major telecom operators in the country right now, barring Reliance Jio. Out of these telecom operators, when it comes to prepaid plans, Bharti Airtel sees a lot more attention towards its prepaid plans, mainly because the telecom operator offers a lot of benefits when it comes to prepaid customers. Whereas, on the other hand, Vodafone Idea offers comparatively fewer benefits.

Bharti Airtel has lots of prepaid options for its subscribers like Rs 299, Rs 249, and other options. These two prepaid plans come with 28 days of validity and ship 2.5GB data and 2GB data per day to the subscribers. While one comes with the special benefit of Amazon Prime benefit, the other one comes with a Life Insurance cover of Rs 4 lakhs. Not only this, but these plans also offer other benefits like Wynk Music subscription, Airtel Xstream, Norton Mobile Security for a year, and so on. Similarly, Vodafone Idea prepaid plans in the same segment ship with benefits like Vodafone Play subscription and more.
