Reliance Jio is often regarded as the telecom operator who offers prepaid plans at cheaper rates to the users when compared with Airtel, who charges a ‘premium’ on its plans to garner high average revenue per user (ARPU) customers. But there’s this plan from Jio, which is only Rs 5 cheaper than Airtel’s plan, which offers the exact same benefits. So how do you decide which plan is better, and most importantly, how do you differentiate between which operator is better in such instances? If you are confused, let me help you.
Reliance Jio Plan That’s Rs 5 Cheaper than Airtel’s Offering
Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel both offer users a 56 days plan with a 2GB daily data limit. The interesting thing about these plans is that both of them are priced just Rs 5 apart, where Jio’s plan is on the cheaper end.
Reliance Jio offers its 2GB daily data plan for 56 days for Rs 444, and Airtel offers the same plan for Rs 449. Both the companies offer truly unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day with the plans. Post consumption of fair-usage-policy (FUP) data, the internet speed for the users drops to 64 Kbps with both plans.
Apart from the pricing, the only real difference between the two plans is in the additional benefits they come with. Reliance Jio’s plan comes with additional benefits of JioCinema, JioTV, JioNews, JioSecurity, and JioCloud. At the same time, Bharti Airtel’s plan comes with additional benefits of Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition, Airtel Xstream Premium, Free Hellotunes, Wynk Music, Shaw Academy, and Apollo 24/7 Circle.
