365telugu.com online news,New Delhi, August 22,2025: Reliance Jio continues to offer the most cost-effective mobile services compared to its rivals Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi), according to a pricing analysis by BNP Paribas.
The report noted that while all three leading telecom operators have aligned tariffs for popular recharge plans, Jio provides higher data benefits at the same price point, making it the most affordable choice for customers—particularly those with heavy data needs.
For instance, all three operators price their 28-day plan at ₹299, but Jio offers larger daily data limits. Similarly, in the annual ₹3,599 plan, Jio provides 2.5 GB/day compared to Airtel and Vi’s 2 GB/day.
Among mid-range options, Jio’s ₹799 plan-offering 1.5 GB/day for 84 days-remains one of the most popular. Customers can recharge via digital platforms like PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, or Jio’s official website.
Some plans, however, are available only through select channels-for example, the ₹249 plan is offered only at physical Jio Stores, while the ₹209 plan can be availed exclusively on the MyJio app.
For voice-only users, Jio continues to provide the ₹189 plan with unlimited calls, SMS, and 2 GB data for 28 days. Data-centric customers can also choose from a range of plans:
- ₹209 – 1 GB/day for 22 days
- ₹299 – 1.5 GB/day for 28 days
- ₹349 – 2 GB/day for 28 days
The analysis further underlined that Jio customers save around ₹50 per month compared to Airtel and Vi. For example, the 1.5 GB/day 28-day plan costs ₹299 on Jio, whereas Airtel and Vi charge ₹349. Similarly, Jio’s 2 GB/day plan is priced at ₹349, while Airtel charges ₹398 and Vi ₹365.
