Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) all have come out with new prepaid plans during this week. It all started with Reliance Jio coming out with new Disney+ Hotstar prepaid plans. This was followed by Vi and Airtel as well. Disney+ Hotstar had changed its subscription tiers and structure in India starting September 1, 2021. This was naturally going to force operators to change their plans as well since the over-the-top (OTT) platform had removed its ‘VIP’ offering. Now all the plans offer access to the complete content library, but they have different quality of streaming and allow users to play content on different kinds of devices. Let’s take a look at the plans introduced by each of the telcos and see which company offers the best one.
Reliance Jio Disney+ Hotstar New Prepaid Plans
Jio is now offering a Rs 499, Rs 666, Rs 888, and Rs 2599 plan to the users with the new Disney+ Hotstar Mobile-only plan. The Disney+ Hotstar Mobile-only plan costs Rs 499 per year. All of these plans offer users unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day. The Rs 499 plan offers 3GB of daily data for 28 days while the Rs 666, Rs 888, and Rs 2599 plan comes for 56, 84, and 365 days and each of them offers users 2GB of daily data.
