Okay, let’s talk about this wild ₹26 plan from Jio. Who even offers 28 days of validity for less than the price of a samosa? Apparently, Jio does—but there’s a catch. Meanwhile, Airtel and Vi are like, “Best we can do is one day.” Here’s the lowdown.
Jio’s ₹26 Plan: What’s the Deal?
So, Jio’s throwing out a 28-day plan for just ₹26, but it’s not your typical recharge. Here’s what you get:
- 2GB data (high speed, then drops to 64kbps after)
- No calls, no SMS—it’s purely a data top-up
- Only for JioPhone users (yep, regular Jio SIMs need not apply)
It’s basically a lifesaver if you’re on a JioPhone and run out of data mid-month. But if you were hoping for unlimited calls or something? Sorry, this ain’t it.

Airtel & Vi’s ₹26 Plans: Kinda Weak?
Now, let’s see what the competition’s offering:
- Airtel: ₹26 gets you 1.5GB data, but only for 1 day. Oof.
- Vi (Vodafone Idea): Same deal—1.5GB, 1-day validity.
So, Jio’s clearly winning the budget game here. Unless you need data for, like, one very intense day, Airtel and Vi’s plans don’t stand a chance.

Who Should Grab Jio’s ₹26 Plan?
If you’re a JioPhone user and just need a little extra data to scrape through the month, this is a steal. But for everyone else? It’s a no-go. Regular Jio users will have to stick to the usual ₹155+ plans for decent validity.
Final Verdict
Jio’s playing the long game with this 28-day validity flex, while Airtel and Vi are stuck in 24-hour mode. If you qualify, it’s a crazy good deal. If not… well, back to the drawing board.
