Reliance Jio’s Dhan Dhana Dhan Offer has forced Airtel to launch its own long duration unlimited 4G plans. While there is no doubt that the former’s new packages are quite attractive, they do not seem to stand any chance against the country’s youngest telecom operator. While Jio’s plans are truly unlimited, Bharti Airtel’s offers looks like a clever play of terms and conditions.
Firstly, Reliance Jio has the same plan for every individual residing in any part of India. On the other hand, there is no uniformity, whatsoever in Airtel’s packages. Not only they vary from place to place, but also they differ from person to person living at the same location. So, before recharging your Airtel number, do visit here beforehand to check the offers exclusively available for your SIM.
Also, please note that all the offers we will be talking about here are applicable only to existing prepaid subscribers of Airtel. If you intend to get a new connection, ask the vendor properly about the plans that will be applicable to your new SIM card. Jio doesn’t have any of these additional headaches.
