Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone-Idea have announced revised prepaid plans for their customers. These telecom operators have announced these revisions as all want to reduce the burden on their financial books and to increase their revenue from their prepaid plans.
However, it should be noted that all telecom operators have decreased the benefits with entry-level plans. In fact, Vodafone-Idea has stopped providing SMS benefits with the basic packs. This is why Reliance Jio has asked TRAI to take action against this strategy as customers need SMS service for port out to the services of other telecom operator services.
On the other hand, India’s second-largest telecom operator has started providing SMS benefits with Rs.99 plan, which is again the most affordable pack. This pack also ships 200MB of data along with Rs. 99 talk time and tariff call with one paise per second and message at Rs. 1 for the local messages and Rs. 1.5 for the STD messages for 28 days.
Vodafone-Idea SMS Pack
Similarly, India’s third-largest telecom operator Vodafone-Idea has also started providing SMS with Rs. 42 and Rs. 51.
For the uninitiated, the Rs. 42 plan offers unlimited messages along with score alerts of the cricket matches, while Rs. 51 offers pack ships outgoing messages and 1GB of data for 28 days. Coming to the Rs. 155 plan, where users will get 300 messages, 1GB of data, and unlimited calling for 24 days.
