Bharti Airtel has joined Reliance Jio to increase the entry-barrier for accessing free unlimited 5G data services post the July 3 price hike. To access unlimited 5G data, customers will now need to opt for higher-priced plans. Like Jio, Airtel has announced that unlimited 5G data will be available on all 2GB/day and above plans only starting from July 3.
We’ve already compiled the list of most affordable Jio prepaid plans with unlimited 5G after the tariff revision. Here we will look at most affordable Airtel plans with unlimited 5G. An interesting observation is that Jio is still offering free 5G at lower cost than Airtel, at least at the entry-level. Jio also has more plans with unlimited 5G compared to Jio. While Airtel has as many as eight prepaid plans with 5G, Jio has only five. This is of course with regard to plans below Rs 1,000.
