Postpaid plans under Rs 1000: Idea vs Vodafone vs Jio vs Airtel
Here we have compared the postpaid plans under Rs 1,000 of various operators. Remember, there are costlier plans too which we will discuss in another article.
A reader of ours once told how he got stuck to a postpaid plan of a company for 3-4 years with same benefits. He felt great initially as the plan offered him 750 MB of data per month with superb calling and SMS benefits. But that was several years back. Some months back he realised how much he was losing and how his telco was not changing plan benefits under his scheme. So he decided to convert to a prepaid one.
But you need not do that. All the telcos now offer much better postpaid plans. Here thus we have compared the postpaid plans of the top four telecom operators, i.e Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Reliance Jio. And if you feel you are not getting much, you can switch to other operators. So here we have compared the postpaid plans under Rs 1,000 of various operators. Remember, there are costlier plans too which we will discuss in another article.
