Airtel, one of the country’s largest telecom companies, has given a big blow to its users by discontinuing one of its postpaid plans – specifically the ₹549 plan. Now the question arises that what options will the users have? Let us know why the company decided to discontinue this plan.
**Which plans are left?**
While the removal of the ₹549 plan is certainly a blow to users, there are two other plans available priced at ₹449 and ₹699. However, all these plans offer different benefits.
**What was available in the ₹549 plan?**
Airtel’s ₹549 postpaid plan was considered ideal for users who wanted more benefits at a lower price. In this, along with unlimited local calling, STD and roaming calling facility was available across the country. This plan also included 100 SMS and 4G/5G data every day. Additionally, users also got six months of free subscription to Amazon Prime Mobile.
**Jio’s cheapest postpaid plan**
Talking about Reliance Jio, the company is offering its cheapest postpaid plan for ₹349. This plan gives users 30GB high-speed internet data; However, if users exceed this data limit, they will have to pay extra. This plan also includes the facility of 100 SMS every day.
**Impact on users**
The closure of the ₹549 plan will have the biggest impact on those users who were dependent on it for more benefits at a lower price. Users will now have to choose between the ₹449 plan or the ₹699 plan. It is worth noting that Jio is now offering the cheapest postpaid plan compared to Airtel. Meanwhile, after Airtel’s ₹549 plan is discontinued, some users may also switch to Jio.
