Airtel vs Jio vs Vodafone Idea (VI): Who is offering the cheapest prepaid plan with OTT?

Airtel’s prepaid plan
Airtel’s RS 301 plan is one of the most economical options, including OTT access. In this plan, customers get unlimited local and roaming voice calls, 100 SMS and 1GB 5G data per day for 28 days. The specialty of this plan is 28 days’ JioCinema (first Jiohotstar) subscription, so that users can stream various types of content including sports and entertainment.

After the daily data quota is over, the browsing speed falls to 16kbps. Under the Fair Use Policy (FUP), RE1 for local message and Rs 1.5 for STD messages for sending SMS more than a daily limit.

Reliance live
Reliance Jio is presenting an OTT prepaid plan with its Rs 299 pack. It includes 1.5GB True 5G data (total 42GB), unlimited local and STD calls and 100 SMS per day for 28 days. The specialty of this plan is that it gets three months’ JioCinema mobile subscription of Rs 149 for free.

Apart from this, it also gets access to JioTV and 50GB Jio Aicloud storage. After completion of every day’s data cap, the speed falls to 64kbps. Users should keep in mind that to maintain continuous access of OTT subscription, they have to recharge within 48 hours of the end of the plan.

Vodafone idea
Vodafone Idea’s plan of Rs 239 is the lowest priced option in all three, which gives OTT benefits with a one -month JioCinema subscription. This includes unlimited local and roaming calls, a total of 300 SMS and only 2GB data for a validity period of 28 days. After the data is terminated, the users are charged Rs 0.5 per MB.

Although it meets basic mobile needs and also gives OTT access, it lacks more daily data and additional app benefits in Airtel and Jio’s prepaid plans.

Consumers who want more data and benefits can think of upgrading VI on ₹ 399 plan. This plan also includes 2GB daily data, 100 SMS/day, unlimited calls and one month OTT access with weekend data rollover, as stated in the report of GADGETS 360.

Overall, Airtel’s ₹ 301 prepaid plan is the most expensive among all three, while VI’s ₹ 239 plan is the cheapest. But Jio’s ₹ 299 plan is the best value-for-mani option, including daily True 5G data, unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS per day, JioTV access and 50GB jio aicloud storage.
