Jio effect: Aircel rolls out Rs 419 plan, offers 168 GB data and free voice calls to any network

Reliance Jio has changed the dynamics of the telecom market and spurred a price war which seems to be never-ending. After Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and BSNL, it is now Aircel that has finally joined this war by launching a new pan to beat Jio.





The company has launched a 2GB data per day plan at Rs 419. The plan offers 2GB data per day for 84 days, meaning 168GB data in total along with free voce calls on any network.  However, the plan is only available in North eastern states of the country.
The plan competes against the Jio's Rs 509 plan. However, the Jio plan offers free SMS also which is missing in Aircel's plan. Also Jio is available in all states while the Aircel plan is limited to only North east states only. An another important difference between the two plans is that the Jio offers 4G data while Aircel will offer 2G or 3G(depending on the area) data to its subscribers.
Meanwhile, Vodafone which is the second largest telecom operator in India has launched an unlimited international plan across the UK and Europe for Rs 180 a day for international travellers. They can activate the plan for Rs 180  and use their number overseas from the UK and other travel destinations in Europe like Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The plan is available at different price points starting from Rs 5,000 for 28 days to Rs 500 for every 24 hours usage.
