Telecom business is evolving in India. All major telecom service providers present healthy competition, offering competitive plans for the subscribers. Prepaid plans are popular among people, primarily because of the control they provide on usages. If the subscriber unintentionally uses more than the allowed data limit, postpaid plans have the risk of paying more than expected. However, a postpaid plan offers freedom to use first and not pay anything upfront. There are several attractive benefits, mainly streaming benefits. Here we look into various postpaid plans with streaming benefits offered by leading service providers Airtel, Jio and Vi.
