The telecom industry has witnessed a surge in the prices of prepaid recharge plans. All the major telecom operators, including Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and Reliance Jio have increased the prices of their respective prepaid plans by up to 25 per cent. However, one operator that has not increased prices is BSNL. The state-owned telecom operator is still offering prepaid plans at an affordable price tag. That, BSNL is still offering 3G services and if we go by the latest report, the operator might announce its 4G services in September 2022 across the country.
That said, all the telcos still have prepaid plans that offer some interesting benefits. Airtel is offering Amazon Prime Mobile Edition along with other benefits with its range of prepaid plans. Vi is also not far behind and gives you some tempting data offers with its recharge plans. Reliance Jio is also offering free Jio app subscriptions with all its prepaid plans.
