All three private telcos have a prepaid plan that has a certain edge to it. The telcos don’t want to price their plans too differently from each other, but they strive to differentiate on the basis of additional benefits. All the companies offer different kinds of additional benefits. In the case of Vodafone Idea (Vi), the additional benefits are mostly data-oriented – for example, Binge All Night, Data Delights, and Weekend Rollover. With Airtel, it is Airtel Thanks which includes plenty of things such as Wynk Music, Apollo 24|7 Circle, FASTag cashback, and more. Jio offers access to its certain apps/platforms exclusively meant for Jio users.
Today, we are going to look at one plan with an edge from each of these telcos.
Reliance Jio
Jio actually has two plans that would fit this category of plans with an ‘edge’. Both of the Jio plans that we are talking about have the kind of benefits that none of the other operators offer. It is the Rs 1499 and Rs 4199 plan. Both these plans offer 2GB of daily data, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day with Jio apps. The unique thing about these plans is that they come with a Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscription. The Rs 1499 plan comes with a validity of 84 days while the Rs 4199 plan comes with a validity of 365 days.
All the other telcos offer plans with Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription. No one offers a Premium subscription to the users.
