Two interesting developments have happened in the telecom industry involving Idea, Vodafone and Micromax, which proves that Jio is the trendsetter for all telecom companies.
While Idea has launched a new postpaid plan for Rs 399, Vodafone and Micromax has launched a smartphone costing Rs 999/-, which is the ‘effective’ price.
Idea: Rs 399/- Plan For Postpaid Users
Idea has now decided to launch 1GB data per day plan for their postpaid users, which will cost them only Rs 399/- per month.
Note here, that this plan is applicable for only those who are joining Idea network right now.
While this plan offers 1 GB data per day, the unlimited STD calls option is only available under home circle. Local calls would be anyways free.
This postpaid plan is a direct copy of Airtel, which had launched a similar Rs 399 monthly plan, which offered 10 GB data in a month.
Idea’s postpaid plan for Rs 399/- is also providing 100 SMSes.
Customers can only avail this plan via Idea website, wherein a form needs to be filled, and the SIM would be delivered at home.
