Better than Reliance Jio plan? Idea announces massive 42GB offer now to counter RJio freebies; details here

Telecom operators have gone all out to tackle the Reliance Jio freebie juggernaut that has taken the country’s fancy. Now, after Vodafone and Airtel, Idea Cellular has come up with a massive new plan. The company has upgraded its Rs 309 plan and will now offer its users 1.5 GB data per day. Previously, Idea was giving 1GB daily data at the same price. This means that in 28 days, which is the validity of the pack, the company will offer a total of 42GB instead. Idea’s new plan comes just a few days after Jio launched the Rs 199 plan, which offers 1.2GB data per day as well as other freebies for 28 days.

Apart from 1.5GB data par day users who will be opting to for this plan will get outgoing calls with a limit of 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes per week. After exceeding the set cap, customers will need to pay one paise per second. Similarly, the company has set a cap of 100 SMS so after exhausting it users will be charged Rs 1 per local SMS. Along with these, subscribers get free outgoing calls on roaming, and validity of 28 days.
