Idea Cellular, the country’s third-largest telecom operator, has launched another affordable plan for its postpaid subscribers. Though Idea Cellular follows Bharti Airtel in the prepaid pricing, it has got a unique identity in postpaid segment. The company has been regularly updating its postpaid tariff plans to keep in tune with Reliance Jio.
As per the telecom company, the new postpaid plan is termed as “New Ultimate 349 Plan” and offers free local, STD and roaming calls across all networks in India. However, if the reports are to be believed this free offer is limited to a maximum of 3000 local and STD minutes. And the incoming is free while in roaming for 6 bill cycles on Idea network.
Idea New Ultimate 349 Plan 4G Data Benefits:
Regarding data benefits, the New Ultimate 349 Plan offers 1GB of 4G data for 4G enabled handsets. The subscribers without a 4G handset will get 100MB of data benefit for 30 days bill cycle. The plan can be availed by both the existing and new customers across all the telecom circles. However, there would be a refundable charge of ₹300 as activation fee for the new customers.
Though one can expect similar plans from other telecom operators but a cap of 3000 minutes is something that needs to be addressed. Hope Bharti Airtel and Vodafone India would work out to offer affordable tariff plans to match Reliance Jio freebies.
