Jio vs Airtel vs Vi: Which company is offering the best plan for YOU?
By Team Asianet Newsable | First Published Jul 3, 2024, 1:51 PM ISTReliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea announced mobile tariff hike last week. The new mobile tariffs for Airtel and Reliance Jio go live today (July 3). Airtel has announced a price hike across prepaid and postpaid plans. The change in tariff plans will go into effect from July 3 across all circles and throughout India.
Reliance's Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi) announced plan increases a few days ago. As of today, July 3, Jio and Airtel's revised plan rates are in effect. However, as of tomorrow, July 4, Vodafone Idea's plan tariffs will be implemented. This implies that you will be required to pay more for their services if you have been using any of these three connections. The telecom firms provided a window for customers to recharge using the previous plans before the new rates take effect, which may come as bad news to those on a tight budget.
