Reliance Jio is the number one telecom operator in India simply because its offerings are not only cheaper compared to the other operators, but also its network services are mostly consistent throughout India. However, there’s one plan from Vodafone Idea (Vi) that beats Jio comfortably. Today, we are going to look at a prepaid plan that comes for the same cost from all the three private operators, including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea. The plan that I am talking about is the Rs 599 plan from all the operators. Let’s take a look at why Vodafone Idea’s plan is much better than what other operators offer for the same price.
Bharti Airtel Rs 599 Plan
Starting with the Rs 599 offering from Bharti Airtel, users get 56 days of validity along with truly unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS/day, and 2GB of daily data. In addition to this, there’s an over-the-top (OTT) benefit of Disney+ Hotstar VIP with Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition one month trial, Airtel Xstream Premium, Wynk Music, Free Hellotunes, one year Shaw Academy course, and Rs 100 cashback on FASTag transactions.
Reliance Jio Rs 599 Plan
Coming to the Reliance Jio’s Rs 599 plan, users get almost the same benefits as that of Airtel’s plan. There’s 2GB daily data, unlimited voice calling, and 100 SMS/day. But the validity of the plan is 84 days instead of 56 days that users get with Airtel’s plan. Plus, there are additional benefits offered with Jio’s plan that comprise Jio applications, including JioSecurity, JioTV, JioCloud, JioCinema, and JioNews.
