Tariff War: Comparison of Postpaid Plans by Airtel, Idea, Vodafone and Jio

When Reliance Jio launched its postpaid plan, it caused the stocks of both Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel to take a dip. In order to change the Indian postpaid market, Jio introduced an aggressive scheme called JioPostpaid to tackle the postpaid plans from Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular. As expected, Jio has introduced an aggressive plan of Rs 199 that offers better benefits than incumbent operators at half of the price. Also, the JioPostpaid plan will offer special benefits for international roaming. With so many plans in the market right now, we make a detailed comparison of the postpaid plans by Airtel, Jio, Vodafone and Idea.

Airtel postpaid plan of Rs 399
The postpaid plan of Airtel will offer a bit less data of about 20GB with 3G/4G speed. However, it will come with the data rollover facility which means that subscribers of this plan will be able to avail unused data in their next billing cycle. Airtel will also bundle free unlimited local and STD calling and free roaming as part of this plan. Additionally, Airtel will also provide users with add-ons like the subscription to Wynk Music. International roaming activation, however, will be chargeable in this plan and will be billed at the cost of Rs 149 per month.
