In this article, we will compare the Reliance Jio 4G plans with Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea.
So, does this mean that Jio is all hype and marketing, and no substance? The two, along with Idea, have also slashed effective data prices by almost 70 per cent on some plans.
Bharti Airtel too lost 1.35 per cent to Rs 306.50 but later saw some recovery and was trading at Rs 312.10, up 0.45 per cent during the afternoon trade.
“With Rs.149 entry-level offer, Jio’s average revenue per user (ARPU) will be much higher than the existing players”, Mr. Ghosh said. Vodafone is predicted to have a stable share of 21 per cent in 4G subscriber base over the same period, while Idea Cellular’s share will be around 18 per cent.
The terms and condition in the PDF uploaded by Reliance also state that the free welcome offer is valid for one SIM only for a customer.
The only requirement here is that you choose from one of the available plans and pay for it if you want to enjoy the free calls.
