Idea Cellular has finally revised its entire range of Nirvana plans to compete with the likes of Bharti Airtel and Vodafone India. Idea revised the entire eight Nirvana postpaid plans with better data benefits, but the massive change has been made to the entry-level Rs 389 postpaid plan as it now offers unlimited roaming outgoing voice calls as well, on-par with Airtel and Vodafone’s Rs 399 postpaid plan. These new plans are yet to be reflected on Idea Cellular’s official website, and it might happen in the next couple of days, but for now, users can head over to MyIdea application and login with their account to see the revised benefits.
