- Jio offers four plans with 1.5GB data per day
- Airtel, Idea, and Vodafone also have competitive prepaid recharges
- All four operators offer bundled calls and free roaming
Jio successfully entered the telecom industry around a year and a half ago by offering users free data at a time when data costs in the country were really high. This led Airtel, Vodafone, and Idea to launch their own plans that were competitive in terms of data allocation and other benefits, while BSNL had a resurgence of sorts with a host of new packs. Jump to present day and all telcos have launched a number of new plans with validities as long as 3 months and generous daily data allocations. We take a look at the recharges offered by Jio, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, and BNSL with up to 1.5GB data a day and other freebies.
Jio recharges with up to 1.5GB data per day
Jio recharges with up to 1.5GB data per day are scattered across four price points — Rs. 149, Rs. 349, Rs. 399, and Rs. 449. The Rs. 149 Jio recharge offers a total of 42GB data for the 28-day validity period, while the Rs. 349 pack comes with validity of 70 days and total data allocation of 105GB. Similarly, subscribers will get 126GB of 4G data from the operator and validity of 84 days with the Rs. 399 recharge. Lastly, the Rs. 449 pack has will remain valid for 91 days and give the customers 136GB of data cumulatively. All four packs come with unlimited voice calls, free roaming calls and 100 SMS per day, and access to Jio apps. Once the high-speed data is exhausted on any particular day, the speed is capped at 64kbps.

Airtel recharges with up to 1.5GB data per day
Airtel offers as many as five recharges all offering 1.4GB data per day. With the Rs. 199 Airtel recharge, users will get 39.2GB data at 1.4GB a day for 28 days.
