Vodafone Idea New Rs 501 Plan vs Airtel 499 Postpaid Plan

Vodafone Idea

Vodafone Idea (Vi) recently introduced a bunch of new postpaid plans. These new postpaid plans are not too very different from the price of the old plans that the telco offered. These new plans are basically Rs 2 more expensive than the old plans that are not available anymore, and they offer much more benefits to the consumers. We recently did an analysis of these new postpaid plans; you can check them out by clicking here. But for now, let’s focus on one of these plans a little closer. The plan that we are talking about is the Rs 501 plan from Vodafone Idea. We are going to be comparing this plan with Airtel’s Rs 499 plan. We are choosing Airtel’s Rs 499 plan because it is very close to the price of the Rs 501 plan from Vodafone Idea and Airtel is also the prime competitor of Vi in the postpaid segment. Let’s see which company’s plan is better.
