1. Jio’s Rs. 349 Postpaid Plan – Hotstar Free!

If you want the cheapest decent postpaid plan, Jio’s Rs. 349 offering is a solid pick. Here’s what you get:

  • 30GB data (10GB/month for 3 months)
  • Unlimited calls + 100 SMS/day
  • Free Disney+ Hotstar (3 months, mobile & TV)
  • Unlimited 5G data (where available)

Catch? Once your 30GB is used up, extra data costs Rs. 10/GB. Also, GST isn’t included—your final bill will be around Rs. 412.

2. Airtel’s Rs. 449 Plan – More Data, More Benefits

Airtel’s Infinity 449 plan gives you:

  • 50GB data (16.6GB/month for 3 months)
  • Unlimited calls + 100 SMS/day
  • Free Disney+ Hotstar (3 months, mobile-only)
  • Airtel Xstream Premium, Apollo 24/7 Circle, and free HelloTunes

This one’s great if you need extra data, but again, GST bumps the price to ~Rs. 530.

3. Vi’s Rs. 451 Plan – Unlimited Night Data & OTT Perks

Vi’s Max 451 plan is a bit pricier but packs more:

  • 50GB data + 200GB rollover
  • Unlimited night data (12 AM–6 AM)
  • 3,000 SMS/month
  • Free OTT subscription (pick one: Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, Zee5, or Eros Now)

Bonus: In Mumbai, Vi offers unlimited 5G data with this plan.

Which One Should You Pick?

  • Tight budget? Jio’s Rs. 349 plan is the cheapest.
  • Need more data? Airtel’s Rs. 449 or Vi’s Rs. 451 are better.
  • Want OTT perks? Vi lets you choose your favorite streaming app.

All three plans come with 18% GST, so factor that in before deciding.

Final Verdict: If you’re after a no-frills, budget-friendly postpaid plan, Jio’s Rs. 349 deal is hard to beat. But if you want extra data or OTT benefits, Airtel and Vi have stronger options.
