Airtel and Idea roll out Rs. 509 plan offering unlimited calls and 1GB data per day for 84 days


To counter Reliance Jio's 459 plan, telecom operators Airtel and Idea Cellular have come out with a new Rs. 509 tariff plan for prepaid customers that offers voice call and data benefits.

Idea's Rs. 509 plan gives its customers unlimited local and STD calls, free roaming outgoing calls, 100 SMSes per day and 1GB of 3G data per day for 84 days. Customers can avail 1GB extra data if they recharge the Rs. 509 plan via Idea's website or MyIdea app. The extra 1GB data is also valid for 84 days.

In addition, Idea has also announced an additional offer under which customers are eligible for up to 100 percent cashback on recharges above Rs. 300.  The cashback will be divided into seven discounts of Rs. 51 each on the next seven recharges.

Airtel's Rs. 509 plan, on the other hand also offers unlimited local and STD calls, free roaming outgoing calls, 100 SMSes per day and 1GB of 4G data per day for 84 days.

The difference between Airtel and Idea's plan is the data speed. On Idea plan you can browse the net at 3G speed, while on Airtel's network the speed is 4G.

For comparison, Reliance Jio's 459 plan offer the same benefits as Airtel and Idea's Rs. 509, but you get to browse the net in 4G speeds and access to Jio suite of apps. However, Jio also has Rs. 509 plan and it offers 2GB data per day for 49 days.
