Ever since Reliance Jio set in motion its unlimited data and call plans, operators like Airtel and Vodafone are scrambling to offer new recharge plans to match the competition. Operators across pan-India are coming up with lucrative prepaid plans every other day now.

Bharti Airtel has rolled out a new Rs. 3999 prepaid recharge plan offering year-long validity of unlimited calling and data. India’s largest telecom operator seeks to corner Jio’s disruptive practices with its new plan. The company has also revamped some of its existing plans including the monthly Rs. 349 plan which offers unlimited calls and data for 28 days.
In case you were wondering, whether to choose Airtel’s yearly or monthly plan we are here to help. Before we proceed, you need to understand what exactly do both the plans offer.
Airtel Rs. 3999
Airtel’s latest recharge plan allows subscribers to avail unlimited local/STD calls, free outgoing national roaming, 100 SMS per day and 300GB. The plan is valid for a period of 360 days. There is no capping on daily data usage or calls you make in a day or week, provided that calls are made for non-commercial usage.
Airtel 349
Airtel’s Rs. 349 plan offers subscribers unlimited local, STD and roaming calls along with 1.5 GB data per day for a validity period of 28 days. The recharge also comes with 100 SMS per day.
So which plan is right for you?
Airtel’s Rs. 3999 yearly plan is a great option for consumers with mild usage who don’t want to be bothered by constant recharges every month. While Rs. 3999 plan may seem steep since you are paying in one go, the plan is totally economic for your pocket. The plan actually gives you year’s worth of calls and data at mere Rs. 11 per day.
