Airtel RS 3599 StrategyValidity: 365 days.The data is two gigabytes per day.Voice: UnlimitedSMS: one hundred per day.Although Airtel’s plan is 50% more costly than BSNL, it offers a significant advantage in regions with 5G service because it includes unlimited 5G bandwidth.

Reliance Jio Rs 3599 StrategyValidity: 365 days.Two data sources with 5.5 GB/day.Voice: Not RestrictedSMS: one hundred fifty per day.Jio offers an extra 0.5 GB of data daily and unlimited 5G data at the same price as Airtel, making it highly competitive for heavy data customers.
