Idea Cellular Rolls Out Open Market Rs 295 Prepaid Plan With a Validity of 42 Days

Idea Cellular has been aggressively launching new prepaid tariff plans every now and then to take on its counterparts- Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. In a bid to attract heavy voice calling users, Idea Cellular has now come up with a new prepaid plan priced at Rs 295 and it offers benefits for a period of 42 days from the date of recharge. This new prepaid recharge fro Idea Cellular doesn’t come anywhere close to Rs 279 prepaid plan of Vodafone, but it does offer better benefits than Airtel’s Rs 299 prepaid plan. For the unaware, Airtel has a Rs 299 open market prepaid plan offering unlimited voice calling for 45 days. For some users, the same plan provides data and SMS benefits too, but we’re comparing the open market plans of both telcos. Airtel also revamped its prepaid plan of Rs 289 for some users, but again, it’s a segmented revision.

In total, there are going to be three limitations on voice calling which would include a daily cap, a monthly cap and a cap on the count of unique numbers which the subscribers dial in a period of seven consecutive days. In case the subscribers cross any of this FUP capex they will be charged at the rate of 1p/sec.
