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.
