With the ongoing changes in the prepaid sector, it's pretty evident that more and more customers will choose postpaid as their service option going forward. Back in August 2016, postpaid plans used to offer better benefits than prepaid plans as the combo plans didn't exist back then. But the scenario has now changed as combo prepaid plans have become a thing in the industry now. Telcos such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea removed talk time recharges, forcing customers to choose unlimited combo prepaid plans. This move is creating a lot of confusion in the minds of consumers whether to stay as a prepaid customer or to become a postpaid customer. Well, if you're one of those, we got you covered as telecom operators are providing some of the best postpaid plans around Rs 500 price range. Read on to know which one to choose amongst them.
