Aditya Birla Group-owned mobile network operator, Idea Cellular, launched a new postpaid plan to increase its subscriber base across the nation. The so-called Idea ₹399 postpaid plan is open only to the new subscribers.

This ₹399 tariff plan will definitely ignite the interests who love monthly plans instead of frequent prepaid recharges. As per the plan, the Idea postpaid subscriber will get unlimited voice calls and 1GB data per day for a monthly rental of ₹399.

Unlimited Calling + 1GB/Day Data @ ₹399:

Till now, all the telecom operators offered ₹399 recharge for its prepaid users. However, Idea Cellular has gone ahead and introduced unlimited calling and daily 1GB data offer in the postpaid segment. Surely, this is the first of its kind and the industry analysts hope that it will go well with the customers.

Earlier the Idea Cellular used to offer 10GB with its ₹399 plan in line with Airtel’s ₹399 plan. Later, the telco introduced Idea Data Jackpot Offer where the postpaid user can avail up to 10GB data per month at ₹100 for 90 days and thereafter 1GB data per month at ₹100.

However, the new ₹399 plan offers unlimited local and STD calls with the home circle. This means the user can make unlimited calls to any network when in his home circle. Incoming calls in roaming are completely free and outgoing calls while in roaming are charged.

Free Home Delivery of Idea Postpaid SIM:

Interestingly, the Idea Cellular offers 100 SMS per day and above all 1GB data per day for the entire billing cycle. All the prepaid benefits are equally passed to the postpaid segment. All you need to do is just order the new postpaid connection from the official IdeaCellular website. You need to furnish Name, Mobile Number, City and Pincode.

As soon as you submit the required details, the Idea representative will call you for further steps. Upon successful validation of the documents, you will get the postpaid SIM at your doorstep based on your convenient time.

Incidentally, Idea Cellular is also allowing the mobile number port-in to its own network under ₹399 plan. Hope the plan is open to the existing subscribers as well.

Unlimited & Commercial Usage Policy:

This ₹399 postpaid unlimited plan is subject to commercial usage otherwise known as a non-retail policy. Every telecom network is announcing its own Commercial Usage Policy. Under this policy, there are 2 conditions when the subscriber usage is termed as commercial.

1. If the customer calls more than 300 unique numbers in 7 consecutive days, it is termed as commercial usage.
2. And if the cumulative duration of incoming calls is less than 15 minutes during the 7 consecutive days of a billing cycle.

Under this commercial Usage Policy, if the subscriber usage is beyond 5000 minutes then it will be charged at 50 paise per minute.

When the telecom companies are offering unlimited calling and 1GB per day benefits to its prepaid users, Idea Cellular is to be appreciated for its daring step in offering the same benefit to its postpaid subscribers.
