Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are two of the top telecom operators in the nation. While Jio is a prominent player in the prepaid space, it is not the same case in the postpaid segment. Airtel and Vodafone Idea lead in the postpaid area, while Jio lags severely. The reason is definitely not the plans offered by the telcos. This is because the benefits offered by Jio’s postpaid plans are pretty decent. Postpaid users are usually more loyal than prepaid customers. Let’s take a look at one of the prominent postpaid plans that both Airtel and Jio offer to their customers. We will be comparing the Rs 999 plans from Airtel and Jio to determine which one is the better option.
Reliance Jio Rs 999 Postpaid Plan
Bharti Airtel Rs 999 Postpaid Plan
Verdict
In terms of data benefits, the plan from Jio is way ahead. If you need Netflix, again, Jio is the option to go with. Regardless of offering such good benefits, Jio’s postpaid business is nothing compared to what Airtel has. At the end of the day, postpaid customers prefer convenience and a great experience. They are not worried about the benefits to the most extent. Also, as mentioned, postpaid consumers are mostly more loyal. Thus, it would be interesting to follow how Jio would compete with Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) in the postpaid space in the coming years.
