| By Shandilya

Jio has transformed the way, people use Internet. Earlier, we used to have a Gig of Internet, in which we could complete a Month’s usage. There is a drastic change after jio came into Indian telecom industry.We saw tariffs hitting new lows and pack validities new highs. More jio users came up due to low tariffs on high data packs. Hence, Airtel, Vodafone and other operator’s comeup with delighted offers on data packs. But with so much happening in the market, it has become difficult to determine which plan is best suited for your needs.Let’s take look on what heaps more savings.

Reliance Jio

With its launch in September last year, Reliance Jio revealed the Jio Welcome Offer, with free data, calling, SMS, and app services to customers. They have few prepaid plans that offer 2GB daily data. The only differentiators between those plans is their cost as well as the validity. Jio’s 2GB daily data plans start at Rs 198 having a validity of 28 days. That’s how you end up claiming a maximum of 56GB of 4G data within the stipulated period. If you prefer a longer validity, you can consider some other alternatives like Jio Rs Jio Rs 398 plan (up to 140GB data valid for 70 days), Jio Rs 448 plan (up to 168GB data valid for 84 days) or Jio Rs 498 plan (up to 182GB data valid for 91 days). If we do some cost per GB calculation, Jio Rs 448 plan offers better value for money out of the lot. It provides 168GB of high-speed data with a cost per GB of Rs 2.66.100 SMS per day and access to premium Jio apps and services.

Airtel

After Jio made its services paid in April this year, Airtel came up with data-heavy plans to attract customers. In April, Airtel upgraded the Rs. 345 recharge pack to offer double the data to 2GB per day without any restrictions on the timing that was previously offered.Airtel Rs 499 plan, on the other hand, is ideal for those who seek a longer validity (of 82 days). That’s how users end up claiming 164GB data with a cost per GB of Rs 3.04, turning out to be better value for money for Airtel users. Both the plans offer free voice calls (local, STD and roaming) and daily 100 SMS.

Vodafone

Soon after Reliance Jio and Airtel started the tariff war, Vodafone joined in. They are not so bad either to make their current customers switch to competitor’s network.That being said, Vodafone also offers a couple of plans here: Vodafone Rs 255 and Vodafone Rs 511. Out of these two, Vodafone Rs 255 plan is valid for 28 days. Since users get a total 56GB data, the cost per GB ends up at Rs 4.55.sadly, they don’t have 100 sms/day. But if you want a longer validity and daily 100 SMS, Vodafone Rs 511 plan is valid for 84 days. In comparison, Vodafone Rs 511 is better value for money given the cost per GB of Rs 3.04, similar to Airtel Rs 499 plan, as well as 100 SMS per day. Again, both the plans have support for free local, STD and roaming calls.

While the aforementioned telecom plans from the major three telecom operators are an aggregate of past three months, a bunch of new telecom offers with data heavy benefits can be expected from rival telcos.
