The growing penetration of smartphones/ tablets has increased the use of the Internet and now it (the Internet) has become inevitable in the daily life of peoples, especially for youth.
I had tried earlier also to put comparative rates of major 3G/4G mobile operators of India, to help to choose the right plan in your budget.
After the recent hike in telecom tariffs, let us see again on the comparative rates.
Amazing phone plan vouchers offering free OTT Platforms
I hope a 1GB or 2GB data daily would be sufficient for a moderate consumer so let us find which operator has the best deal for your smartphone or dongle use.
Vodafone-Idea
The rates for Vodafone-Idea vary from circle to circle, but the new brand Vi offers 1.5GB data daily plan for Rs 599 to use within 84 days. The plan also offers unlimited calling on any network. As a promotion, Vi is also offering 5GB extra data to be used within 28 days. Effectively you get 1GB data per day for just Rs 4.75 plus unlimited voice calling. This cost further reduces if you recharge with Rs 699 which allows you 4GB data per day. ( Rs 2.08 per GB data)
Airtel
Airtel offers 4G data packs at the rates where all other private operators offer. You can get a recharge voucher of Rs 698 which offers 2GB data daily for 84 days, in this way, costing comes Rs 4.15 per GB per day. This recharge also includes unlimited calling on any network.
Jio
Jio offers unlimited calling as an added advantage with its all recharge vouchers. The recharge voucher of Rs 555 allows 1.5GB data per day while the recharge of Rs 599 allows 2GB data per day. Both recharge comes with a validity of 84 days. Hence the cost of data usage with Jio comes Rs 3.57 per GB.
BSNL
BSNL offers data packs at cheaper rates as compared to all other three major telecom service providers. You can get 5GB data daily for a recharge of Rs 599 which comes with a validity of 90 days. So your costing comes Rs 1.33 per GB only.
As it is clearly seen that cost of daily data usage is cheaper with BSNL while Airtel is the costliest option. Hope this post will help to choose the right data plan for you. Don’t forget to share your views in the comment box.
