Jio offers two plans: a Rs 195 add-on pack with 15GB of data and a three-month JioHotstar subscription, and a Rs 949 plan offering 84 days of service, 2GB daily data, and unlimited calls, along with the three-month JioHotstar access.
Vodafone Idea provides more options. A Rs 151 add-on pack provides 4GB of data and three months of JioHotstar, while prepaid plans costing Rs 469 and Rs 994 offer 28 and 84 days of service respectively, including 2.5GB and 2GB daily data, unlimited calls, and three months of JioHotstar access.
