Jio Effect, Read to find out best unlimited calling and data pack offered by Airtel, Vodafone and Other

Reliance Jio arrived in the Indian telecom sector as a disruptive player, bringing voice calls, 4G data, and other services for free till December 31 to users across the country. However, its launch did not result in the tariff war that many had expected. 


With Reliance Jio now extending its free services by another three months as part of the Jio Happy New Year Offer, telecom operators have started launching new plans and recharge packs of their own, offering unlimited voice calls, and various data benefits, in order to retain users.


Airtel unlimited voice calling and data plans

Airtel has launched two new unlimited calling packs for prepaid users, which offer local and STD calls without any caps, along with data benefits.

The Rs. 145 Airtel voice calling recharge pack provides users the option to make local and STD calls to any Airtel user across the country. Along with this, 300MB of 4G data will be provided to the customers; however, if your phone does not support 4G, you'll only get 50MB of data.

Airtel’s Rs. 345 prepaid recharge pack comes with unlimited voice calls to any network across the country. With this unlimited voice calling pack, Airtel is providing bundled data benefits of 1GB for 4G customers, but again, only 50MB for users of mobile phones “ideally suited for Web surfing and accessing light social media apps,” according to Airtel.

Postpaid users can opt for the Rs. 799 myPlan Infinity, which provides with unlimited local and STD calls, 100 SMSs per day, 2GB of data, and Wynk Music and Wynk Movies subscription. Those who want more data or use roaming services frequently can choose the Rs. 1,199 plan, which comes with the same calling and SMS benefits, along with free roaming calls and 5GB of bundled mobile data. 

Vodafone unlimited voice calling and data plans

Vodafone has a number of unlimited calling and mobile data offers for prepaid and postpaid customers. The most attractive Vodafone data offer is the Double Data offer, which provides you with twice the data benefits on recharges of Rs. 255 or above. Therefore, for the Rs. 255 prepaid data recharge, you get 2GB of mobile data instead of the standard 1GB. The same applies for 3GB, 4GB, and higher value data recharges.

Along with this, Vodafone is providing users of new 4G smartphones 10GB of data, for the price of 1GB. However, the extra 9GB of the 4G or 3G data (depending on their telecom circle) can be used only between midnight and 6am. Those who opt for this plan will also get a free Vodafone Play subscription, the company's TV, movie, and music streaming service. The offer is available for both prepaid and postpaid users, till December 31, 2016.

The basic Vodafone unlimited calling prepaid recharge pack, priced between Rs. 144 and Rs. 149 (depending on the telecom circle) provides unlimited local and STD calls to Vodafone users as well as 300MB of bundled 4G data and free incoming calls on national roaming. Vodafone’s Rs. 344-349 recharge pack allows users to make the unlimited calls to any mobile network and landline in the country, free roaming, and 1GB of 4G data. Those who do not use 4G handsets will get 50MB of mobile data.

Idea Cellular unlimited voice calling and data plans

Idea Cellular has launched the Rs. 148 prepaid recharge pack that allows users to make unlimited local and STD calls to Idea users, as well as 300MB of 4G data. On the other hand, the company’s Rs. 348 plan allows users to make unlimited calls to any network in the country, plus 1GB of 4G data. Those who choose these recharge packs but do not have 4G smartphones will get 50MB of mobile data.

Coming to data recharges, Idea Cellular had cut the prices of its 3G/ 4G mobile data recharges by up to 67 percent, for prepaid recharges of 2GB or higher – for example, you have to pay Rs. 349 for a 2GB recharge now instead of Rs. 449. For mobile data recharges of 1GB or lower, the price cut had been up to 45 percent – so, now you get 90MB of data for Rs. 22, rather than the 65MB you used to get earlier.

Reliance Communications unlimited voice calling and data plans

Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications has an unlimited call plan priced at Rs. 149, which allows users to make calls to any network in the country without any caps. Along with this, the plan comes with 300MB of bundled data. The data benefits remain the same for 2G, 3G as well as 4G users. 

BSNL unlimited voice calling and data plans

BSNL is expected to launch an unlimited calling pack (local+STD) for prepaid users at Rs. 149 on January 1, 2017. Like rivals, the state-run BSNL will provide 300MB of mobile data to users.

While the unlimited calling offers by Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Reliance Communications are pretty much alike, Vodafone's Double Data offer can be quite useful for the web browsing needs of the most people.
