Nowadays, mobile recharge is not limited to just calls, messages. Rather, data connectivity has become more important in terms of recharge in this decade. Moreover, domestic telecom companies are offering different types of plans with different benefits to attract customers to their needs – some plans even have free subscription option on recharge. While Reliance Jio is generally known for offering the best benefits at low prices, Bharti Airtel, one of the oldest players in the sector, is ahead of the leading telco in some areas. The company has some recharge plans in its portfolio that can beat Jio – Airtel’s Rs 359 plan in this context. The price of this plan is just Rs 10 more than Jio’s Rs 349 plan, but for this extra Rs 10, you get the extra benefit of access to more than 20 OTT apps. Let’s now compare the plans of Jio and Airtel and know their benefits in detail.
Benefits of Jio’s Rs 349 Plan
This Jio plan comes with 30 days validity. Recharge it to get 2.5 GB data per day, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day. There will also be benefits of unlimited 5G (5G) data. Additional benefits include free access to the Jio TV and Jio Cinema platforms.
359 plan of Airtel
On the other hand, this plan of Airtel will get 2.5 GB data per day, 100 SMS and unlimited calling on all networks for 1 month validity. It also has an option to use unlimited 5G data. However, the special thing is that it comes with free access to Airtel Xstream Play which again allows rechargers to enjoy over 20 OTT apps including Sony Liv for free.
So it turns out that all the basic benefits of both Airtel and Jio recharge plans are virtually identical – both offer similar calling, data, messaging options. But if you like to watch different types of OTT content, then it is better to choose Airtel plan for recharge with nominal amount more.
