Vodafone Plans Provide Equal Benefits as Airtel For Same Price But Which Is Best for Calling

Next in line of some popular plans is the Rs 599 prepaid plan, which Airtel is shipping for Rs 598. This plan also offers 1.5GB data per day to the subscribers, but it comes with 84 days validity and 100 SMS per day offering as well. The Airtel plan offers more additional benefits to the subscribers since it offers Rs 150 Cashback on FASTag, Airtel Xstream Premium subscription, four weeks course on Shaw Academy and Wynk Music.

Calling Cap on Prepaid Plans

Talking about the calling on both of these telecom operators, the subscribers are going to see a cap of 1000 minutes on plans with 28 days validity and a cap of 3000 minutes on plans with 84 days validity. Past this limit, if the subscribers want to call numbers which are not on their network, then they would be charged 6 paise per minute. To recall, Reliance Jio, a while ago had started charging 6 paise per minute IUC on calls to other networks. Thus, with this new change, we can see that the telcos have all come back to square one.

Best Out of Two for Calling to Other Networks

Summing up, we can say that both Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel are shipping exact same benefits for the price point, but the additional offerings in the case of Bharti Airtel might be luring for the subscribers. However, taking a look at the Airtel portfolio, we find that Bharti Airtel has talk time options which go as high as Rs 5,000, whereas the maximum talk time plan option with Vodafone is Rs 100. This means that Airtel subscribers can opt for a heavy talk time plan and forget recharging for a long time if they make a lot of outgoing calls to other networks. The Rs 100 talk time plan ships Rs 81.75 talk time, for both Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel. The Rs 1,000 talk time plan offers talk time of Rs 847.46
