Reliance Jio All-in-One plans: How they fare against new Vodafone Idea, Airtel tariff packs

Reliance Jio on Wednesday revealed its new 'All in One' plans, three days after competitors Vodafone Idea and Airtel rolled out their revised tariff plans. All three private telecom operators had announced plans to hike tariffs some time back in light of financial struggles that have plagued the sector for some time now. Reliance Jio's new All-in-One plans will come into effect from December 6, 2019.

The new All-in-One plans by Reliance Jio have been categorised as 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 12-month and affordable plans. Counting 28 days as a month, the 1-month, 2-month and 3-month plans offer validity periods of 28 days, 56 days and 84 days, respectively. The 12-month plan comes with a validity of 365 days. The affordable plans, however, are a mix of three plans with validities of 28 days, 84 days and 365 days.

Stacked against the new tariff plans from Vodafone Idea and Airtel, Reliance Jio's All-in-One plans stands out due to the fact that the other two operators do not offer plans with 56 days of validity. Vodafone Idea and Airtel offer plans with validities of 2 days, 28 days, 84 days and 365 days.

Also, as expected by some experts, the new Reliance Jio plans seem cheaper than what Vodafone Idea and Airtel are offering. Jio had promised that its new plans would be 40 per cent costlier but will offer 300 per cent more benefits in comparison to the older packs.

Here's how Reliance Jio's new plans compare to those from Vodafone Idea and Airtel:
