With its free 4G services, the new entrant has already bagged 73 million subscribers in just over 100 days from its inception and also it is quickest one to achieve the milestone. Having said that, customers are going crazy about the free 4G services and so does rival telecom operators.

So, Reliance Jio is offering 1GB of free 4G data (previously it was 4GB per day) and to solely compete with this offering; telecom operators have switched to new plans with data valid for one day or one hour.

India’ second largest telecom network, Vodafone recently launched SuperHour packs, where the company is offering unlimited data/voice calls on an hourly basis by charging a nominal amount. And these plans received a massive response from the audience, which in fact forced Idea to launch their hourly packs.
