With growing competition in the market, every telecom service provider is coming up with a new plan that is cheaper than the other so as to attract more and more customers. For every new plan that is introduced by Jio in the market, the rival operator Airtel is coming up with an alternative that offers more benefits at equally tempting prices.
Jio vs Airtel: Which One Is Better?
Recently, Jio has started charging its customers for outgoing calls to other networks at 6 paise per minute. The new IUC charges are meant to offset the financial burden on Jio slightly but after customers were left confused with the new plans, Jio came up with new All-In-One prepaid plans that offer everything a customer needs at simple and tempting prices.
In response to the same, Airtel came up with a new plan to tackle one of the popular All-In-One plans from Jio, i.e. the Rs 555 plan. Airtel now brings a new prepaid plan at Rs 558 which offers a lot of benefits that Jio is not offering at the same price. Interestingly, Airtel has also started boasting about the completely free calls it’s offering with its plans.
Now with these competitive plans the consumer or subscriber may get confused, here are the details so as to help you choose the right one.
